N6K-C6004-96Q provides 48 fixed 40 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces in a four-rack-unit data center chassis, with four expansion bays rather than 96 interfaces installed as standard. The managed Nexus 6004 supports Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet connectivity, combining fixed interfaces with modular expansion. The standard chassis configuration includes six power supplies and four fan modules. This Cisco Nexus 6000 Series model serves existing data center access and aggregation environments where the original chassis and interface configuration must be retained.

3300W maximum platform power provides the upper electrical provisioning figure, while 2800W typical operation represents a different operating load. Separate management access keeps administration independent of the data interfaces. N6K-C6004-96Q uses the Nexus 6000 architecture of unified crossbar fabric and unified port controllers, with forwarding, buffering, and queuing decisions handled in the port controllers. NX-OS provides programmatic XML access through NETCONF and monitoring through SNMPv1, v2, and v3. The fixed interfaces do not provide 100G connectivity; expansion configuration and software entitlements must remain separate purchase-order considerations.
ORM Systems offers N6K-C6004-96Q new sealed or certified refurbished; specify condition and required chassis contents on the PO. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed port links, clean boot, optics-bay recognition, PSU status, and fan status, with firmware verified and configurations wiped to factory default. ORM coverage is up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units, with 30-day returns on either condition, terms apply; Cisco service and warranty support ended December 31, 2020. Enterprise and volume orders support POs, government Net-30, and RMA with advance replacement across UK, EU, US, and MEA.

An existing installation needing a replacement chassis must distinguish the standard hardware order from N6K-C6004-96Q=, the spare ordering form. Equipment already available on site does not establish another shipment's contents. Specify the required chassis contents explicitly and reconcile the delivered configuration against the purchase order before acceptance.
A replacement entering an established cooling layout needs its power-supply airflow matched to that layout. N55-PAC-1100W provides port-side exhaust airflow, while N55-PAC-1100W-B provides port-side intake airflow. Record the required direction and matching component configuration on the purchase order rather than selecting by electrical rating alone.
100G data-plane connections
N6K-C6004-96Q provides 40G interfaces. N9K-C9364C-GX supports 40/100G connectivity across 64 ports, so migration also changes the physical interface configuration.
Active manufacturer support entitlement
Cisco service for N6K-C6004-96Q ended December 31, 2020. Evaluate N9K-C9364C-GX for a current replacement project rather than planning a new manufacturer support attachment.

N6K-C6004-96Q identifies the Nexus 6004 chassis with 48 fixed 40G Ethernet/FCoE ports, six power supplies, and four fan modules. The 96Q designation must not be treated as the number of installed fixed ports. Expansion hardware and the delivered interface configuration need separate confirmation on the purchase order.
The Nexus 6004 is managed through the NX-OS command-line interface, console access, and a management Ethernet interface. NX-OS also provides XML over NETCONF and SNMPv1, v2, and v3, while Cisco Prime DCNM supplies graphical LAN and SAN management. Specify the intended management software and associated entitlements separately.
N6K-C6004-96Q reached end of sale on December 30, 2015, and its last date of Cisco support was December 31, 2020. Manufacturer service has ended. Treat the chassis as legacy hardware for an existing environment, not equipment eligible for a new manufacturer service attachment.
ORM Systems offers N6K-C6004-96Q new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Both conditions have 30-day returns, terms apply. Cisco hardware service and warranty support ended December 31, 2020; ORM coverage is separate.
N6K-C6004-96Q does not identify software entitlements through its chassis PID alone. Nexus 6004 software was offered through individual feature licenses and Cisco ONE Foundation or Advanced perpetual packages. These packages are discontinued. Perpetual licensing has no fixed subscription term; match the order to the existing entitlements.
N6K-C6004-96Q uses N6K-C6004-M12Q for 40 Gigabit Ethernet and FCoE expansion. Expansion hardware must be specified separately from the fixed interfaces. State module quantities and the intended link media on the purchase order, then confirm the delivered configuration against that line-item schedule before accepting the shipment.
N6K-C6004-96Q supports six power supplies arranged for 3+3 grid redundancy, with four cooling modules arranged for 3+1 redundancy. Redundancy depends on the installed configuration and power feeds, not simply on the chassis name. Specify the required power arrangement and matching airflow before accepting a replacement unit.
N6K-C6004-96Q identifies a chassis with 48 fixed 40G ports, whereas N6004-96Q-B-24Q is a 24-port Ethernet/FCoE bundle. Both ordering forms are discontinued. The chassis PID suits identification of the fixed-port hardware; the bundle PID matters when matching an existing 24-port purchase and its associated configuration.
C1-N6004-96Q is the Cisco ONE ordering form, whereas N6K-C6004-96Q is the standard chassis PID. Both are discontinued, and the bundle name does not establish which entitlements accompany a resale. Existing Cisco ONE installations need the former package identity; hardware-focused replacement orders need the latter chassis identity.
N9K-C9364C-GX supports 40/100G Ethernet connections, while N6K-C6004-96Q provides 40G interfaces. The newer model follows the discontinued Nexus 5696Q in the migration chain. Retained 40G environments may require the original chassis identity; projects requiring 100G links need the newer design and a separately planned interconnect configuration.
