N9324C-SE1U combines fixed 100G data-center switching with integrated data processing units for software-defined services. Twenty-four QSFP28 interfaces provide server and fabric connectivity in a 1U top-of-rack chassis, without a separate uplink expansion bay. The non-PoE configuration serves data-center connections rather than powered copper endpoints. The N9300 Series Smart Switches family separates networking functions from DPU services, so hardware capability and service entitlement must be considered independently. Base software provides static routing; licensed features extend the routing and fabric options. The full PID does not select a network license tier. N9324C-SE1U= is the spare variant and excludes NXA-PAC-1400W-PI power supplies and NXA-SFAN-35CFM-PI fans, an important distinction between populated-switch and chassis-only quotes.

966W maximum draw establishes the peak power requirement; the 794W typical figure should not replace it when provisioning rack power. N9324C-SE1U uses Cisco Silicon One E100 switching silicon and runs NX-OS, with separate resources for the control plane and DPU services. 64 GB of system memory supports the control plane, while a 64 MB fully shared packet buffer handles traffic buffering; the separate 128 GB DPU memory is not system DRAM. Static routes, SVIs and HSRP operate without an additional feature license. BGP and VXLAN EVPN require the corresponding feature entitlement rather than following automatically from the hardware purchase. The Cisco 9324C-SE1U can shut down unused DPUs when their services are not activated, reducing power use in networking-only operation. Native 400G connections are outside this model's fixed interface capabilities.
Order N9324C-SE1U from ORM Systems in new sealed or certified refurbished condition, and specify the hardware configuration and software entitlement on the purchase order. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, every port linking at rated speed, clean boot, optics bay recognition, PSU status and fan status; firmware is verified and configuration is wiped to factory default. Cisco's separate limited hardware warranty is one year; ORM provides up to 3-year extended coverage on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units, with 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply. POs are accepted and government orders can use Net-30 terms; specify quantities and condition for enterprise and volume purchasing.

When a server refresh leaves lower-speed interfaces beside new fabric connections, 4x25G and 4x10G breakouts let individual cages serve multiple links. Map endpoint speeds, cable reach and connector requirements before assigning ports, then specify compatible breakout assemblies and the intended port configuration on the PO.
When staging equipment before shipment, initial configuration requires a console connection before IP-based management becomes available. The RJ-45 and SFP management interfaces are alternatives, not simultaneous management links. Decide which medium the staging environment uses, then specify the console connection and management cabling before the PO.
When building a spare pool across multiple sites, ORM's UK, EU, US and MEA stock/RMA regions provide the regional framework for purchasing and returns. RMA with advance replacement is available. Identify the receiving location, required condition and replacement arrangement on each site-specific PO.
Native 400G fabric connections
N9324C-SE1U stops at native 100G. N9348Y2C6D-SE1U provides six 400G ports, with a materially different layout of 48 25G ports and two 100G ports.
Port-side exhaust cooling
N9324C-SE1U supports port-side intake cooling using NXA-SFAN-35CFM-PI fans and NXA-PAC-1400W-PI power supplies. A port-side exhaust configuration is not supported for this model.

N9324C-SE1U identifies a Cisco N9300 Series Smart Switch with 24 100G ports and 800G DPU service capacity. The complete identifier selects the populated switch rather than the spare chassis. A network license tier is not selected by this hardware PID; specify the software entitlement separately.
N9324C-SE1U supports Cisco NX-OS CLI, Cisco Nexus Dashboard and NX-API, plus RESTCONF, NETCONF and gNMI automation interfaces. Initial configuration uses the console before out-of-band management. Cisco Hypershield security management uses an on-premises controller or Cisco Cloud Control; software and security entitlements must match the intended operating mode.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for N9300 Series Smart Switches. Hardware lifecycle and a purchased software term are separate considerations. For a long-term purchase, align the required support arrangement, software duration and condition-specific coverage with the order rather than treating subscription expiration as hardware retirement.
ORM Systems offers N9324C-SE1U new sealed or certified refurbished, separately from Cisco's one-year limited hardware warranty. ORM coverage is up to 3-year extended for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Both conditions include 30-day returns; terms apply. Refurbished units are inspected, bench-tested, firmware verified and wiped to factory default.
N9324C-SE1U supports DCN Essentials, Advantage or Premier subscriptions for three, five or seven years, plus perpetual DCN Advantage through ACI-AD-XF or NX-OS Advantage through NXOS-AD-XF. Perpetual entitlements are device-bound, so specify the license path separately from hardware condition and any existing entitlements.
No, N9324C-SE1U hardware alone does not provide an active Cisco Hypershield segmentation service. DPU acceleration requires DCN Premier, while Layer-4 stateful segmentation remains subject to availability and a separate Hypershield license. Do not treat the presence of DPU hardware as confirmation that the corresponding security service is enabled.
Yes, N9324C-SE1U supports 4x25G and 4x10G breakouts, while its QSFP28 interfaces also support native 40G operation. Connection speed therefore depends on the configured port mode and compatible connection assembly. Match the server interface, breakout configuration and cable reach before specifying the required connectivity components.
Yes, N9324C-SE1U includes two NXA-PAC-1400W-PI modules in a 1+1 arrangement, with one module providing operating power and the other redundancy. Both NXA-PAC-1400W-PI modules must match the chassis airflow. Identify the intended AC feeds and power-cord configuration when specifying the populated switch.
Cisco Smart Switch N9324C-SE1U occupies 1U and uses a standard rack installation rather than a desktop placement. Chassis depth is 761.02 mm, extending to 798.24 mm at the fan handle. Check cabinet depth, cable clearance and mounting provisions before approving the rack position.
Yes, N9324C-SE1U supports BGP and VXLAN EVPN with the appropriate feature entitlement, including DCN Essentials or a higher tier. The unlicensed baseline includes static routes, SVIs and HSRP. Specify the required routing and fabric features explicitly rather than assuming the hardware PID includes a software tier.
N9324C-SE1U provides 24 100G ports, whereas N9348Y2C6D-SE1U provides 48 25G ports, two 100G ports and six 400G ports. That changes the available connection layout rather than simply increasing one port speed. The former suits a 100G-focused port plan; the latter suits denser 25G connectivity with native 400G connections.
N9324C-SE1U is the populated switch, while N9324C-SE1U= is the spare chassis excluding NXA-PAC-1400W-PI power supplies and NXA-SFAN-35CFM-PI fans. The distinction affects the hardware required on the purchase order. Choose the populated model for a complete replacement or the spare when the required components are already available.
