  • Supervisor modules (one or two supervisor modules of the same type)

    • Supervisor A with four cores, 1.8 GHz, 16 GB of memory, and 64 GB of SSD (N9K-SUP-A)

    • Supervisor B with six cores, 2.1 GHz, 24 GB of memory, and 256 GB of SSD (N9K-SUP-B)

  • System controllers (up to two system controller modules) (N9K-SC-A)

  • I/O modules (up to four I/O modules)

    • 48-port 1-/10-Gigabit SFP+ plus 4-port 40-Gigabit QSFP+ I/O module (N9K-X9464PX)

    • 48-port 1-/10-GBASE-T plus 4-port 40-Gigabit QSFP+ I/O module (N9K-X9464TX)

    • 48-port 1-/10-GBASE-T plus 4-port QSFP+ I/O module (N9K-X9564TX)

    • 48-port 1-/10-Gigabit SFP+ plus 4-port QSFP+ I/O module (N9K-X9564PX)

    • 36-port 40-Gigabit QSFP+ aggregation (non-blocking) I/O module (N9K-X9636PQ)

    • 36-port 40-Gigabit QSFP+ I/O module (N9K-X9536PQ)

    • 32-port 40-Gigabit QSFP+ I/O module (N9K-X9432PQ)

  • Fabric modules (up to six fabric modules behind the fan trays) (N9K-C9504-FM)

  • Fan trays (three) (N9K-C9504-FAN)

  • AC power supplies (up to four 3-kW AC power supplies) (N9K-PAC-3000W-B)

The following figure shows the hardware features seen from the front of the chassis.
