DS-C9509-2AK9 is a modular SAN director bundle containing two DS-X9530-SF2AK9 Supervisor/Fabric-2A modules and two DS-CAC-3000W AC power supplies. The Cisco MDS 9509 Multilayer Director provides a chassis-based architecture for data center storage fabrics rather than fixed Ethernet access ports. Storage connectivity depends on the installed switching modules and their associated optics; the base bundle is not a populated Fibre Channel port configuration. The MDS 9500 family supports storage-fabric consolidation, with interface selection determining the protocols and connection speeds available to attached systems.

2249W typical consumption applies to a fully populated 336-port configuration, so that figure should not be treated as the draw of an unpopulated bundle or an unconditional maximum. FSPF multipathing supports traffic distribution across equal-cost fabric paths. DS-C9509-2AK9 runs NX-OS and supports VSAN-based separation of storage resources. Management includes command-line and graphical application paths, while advanced services require the appropriate software entitlements. Interface-module population, enabled applications and facility voltage therefore belong in configuration review before the hardware order is finalized.
DS-C9509-2AK9 is offered new sealed or certified refurbished; ORM's warranty is up to a 3-year extended term for new hardware and up to 1 year for certified refurbished hardware, with 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, module bay recognition, PSU status and fan status; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. Specify condition, quantities and the complete accessory bill of materials when placing the order; Cisco warranty and service ended April 30, 2019. Enterprise and volume orders support POs, Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement.

When replacing the discontinued DS-C9509-2K9 bundle, DS-C9509-2AK9 is its named next configuration within the same director family. The older bundle reached end of sale August 1, 2011. Confirm the intended replacement configuration and retained interface inventory before issuing the PO.
When storage expansion must remain within an existing director footprint, a fully populated MDS 9509 supports 336 autosensing Fibre Channel ports. That ceiling is not included port inventory. Specify the switching-module population, endpoint connection speeds and matching optics before approving the complete bill of materials.
Active Cisco hardware support
Cisco support ended April 30, 2019. For a current migration configuration, consider DS-C9710-V2K9 or DS-C9710-V3K9 rather than the also-discontinued DS-C9710-1K9.
Native 16-Gbps Fibre Channel connectivity
The MDS 9509 supports 1/2/4/8-Gbps autosensing Fibre Channel interfaces or fixed-rate 10-Gbps Fibre Channel interfaces, not native 16-Gbps Fibre Channel connectivity.

DS-C9509-2AK9 identifies the MDS 9509 base bundle with two DS-X9530-SF2AK9 Supervisor/Fabric-2A modules and two DS-CAC-3000W 3000W AC supplies. DS-C9509 identifies the chassis, while the complete DS-C9509-2AK9 ordering name identifies this populated control-and-power configuration rather than a chassis-only purchase.
The MDS 9509 supports console or SSH CLI, Cisco Data Center Network Manager, Cisco Device Manager GUI, CiscoWorks RME/DFM and third-party SMI-S integration. Additional access paths include SNMPv3, in-band IP-over-Fibre Channel and FICON CUP. Identify the required management integration during configuration and staging.
DS-C9509-2AK9 is discontinued, with end of sale April 28, 2014, and Cisco support ending April 30, 2019. New sealed condition does not restart those milestones. A purchase for an installed environment therefore needs a support arrangement independent of Cisco service eligibility.
ORM offers DS-C9509-2AK9 new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new hardware and up to 1 year for certified refurbished hardware. Returns are 30 days on every condition, terms apply. Cisco warranty and service ended April 30, 2019.
DS-C9509-2AK9 supports optional M9500ENT1K9 Enterprise Package and M9500FIC1K9 Mainframe Package licenses, plus module-specific application entitlements. M95DMM184TSK9= provides a 180-day Data Mobility Manager option. Specify the required service, installed module and entitlement separately; hardware condition alone does not establish application licensing.
DS-C9509-2AK9 replaced the discontinued DS-C9509-2K9 base bundle. DS-C9509-2K9 reached end of sale August 1, 2011, and its published last support date was July 31, 2016. Treat that relationship as a legacy replacement reference, not evidence that either bundle remains eligible for new Cisco support.
DS-C9509-2AK9 is an MDS 9509 bundle, while DS-C9710-V2K9 is an MDS 9710 migration configuration. The replacement chain passes through the also-discontinued DS-C9710-1K9. DS-C9509-2AK9 addresses legacy matching requirements; DS-C9710-V2K9 addresses migration to the current continuation of that director line.
DS-C9509-2AK9 does not include a populated Fibre Channel switching-module configuration in its base bundle. Storage interfaces must be specified separately from the included control and power components. Confirm the required port population and matching optics explicitly rather than treating the chassis capacity as delivered connectivity.
DS-C9509-2AK9 includes two DS-CAC-3000W supplies with redundant power capability. Each DS-CAC-3000W delivers 3000W at 200V AC but 1400W at 100V AC. Specify branch-circuit voltage and the complete powered-module population before accepting a facility power estimate or confirming redundancy headroom.
The MDS 9509 requires 14RU in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Chassis dimensions are 623 mm high, 441 mm wide and 468 mm deep; depth increases to 550 mm with the cable guide. Include cable routing and ventilation clearance in the rack layout review.
