Centralized Switching for Modular Data Center Chassis
N9K-C9400-SW-GX2A is the centralized switch card for the Cisco N9400 modular data center switching system, not a standalone Ethernet switch. The switching card, supervisor, and line-card expansion modules are distinct components. This part belongs on a component-replacement order or a separately specified chassis configuration, rather than an order for a complete switching appliance.

Technical Details
25600 Gbps switching capacity provides the centralized forwarding capacity for the modular system. 990W maximum power consumption must be included in the complete chassis power plan; the card's typical consumption is 760W. N9K-C9400-SW-GX2A is monitored through its host chassis. In NX-OS mode, chassis configuration uses the console CLI and network management connection rather than an independent management interface on the switch card.
Ordering
N9K-C9400-SW-GX2A is available new sealed or certified refurbished; refurbished cards are inspected and bench-tested, including power-on and POST verification. ORM warranty coverage is up to 3-year extended for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units, with 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply; Cisco separately provides a 1-year limited hardware warranty for N9400. Specify condition, quantity, and required companion components on the purchase order. For enterprise and volume orders, POs are accepted, government buyers have Net-30 terms, and RMA includes advance replacement, with regional stock and RMA across the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

Best For
Chassis Spare Inventory
When stocking replacement components for an installed modular system, use show inventory to confirm the installed switch-card PID. Match N9K-C9400-SW-GX2A to the switch-card entry, rather than the supervisor or an expansion module, and specify the exact component identity and required quantity on the spare-hardware PO.
Modular System Assembly
When assembling a complete modular system, specify network interfaces separately from the switch card. N9K-X9400-8D provides eight 400G ports, N9K-X9400-16W provides sixteen 100/200G ports, and N9K-X9400-22L provides twenty-two 10/25/50G ports. Select the expansion-module quantities and interface speeds before finalizing the complete-system PO.
Not Suitable If
A complete standalone Ethernet switch
N9K-C9400-SW-GX2A is a switch card, not a complete switching appliance. Specify a complete N9400 chassis configuration when the purchase must deliver an operational system.
Replacement of a supervisor module
N9K-C9400-SW-GX2A cannot substitute for the supervisor component. N9K-C9400-SUP-A is the separate supervisor card; match the replacement order to the failed component's identity.

Questions & Answers
What does the N9K-C9400-SW-GX2A part number identify?
N9K-C9400-SW-GX2A identifies the Cisco N9400 switch card. The complete PID identifies a chassis component, not a supervisor, port expansion module, or complete switch.
Which chassis accepts N9K-C9400-SW-GX2A?
N9K-C9400-SW-GX2A is the switch card for the N9K-C9408 centralized modular chassis. Confirm the host chassis identity before specifying the replacement component.
What switching capacity does N9K-C9400-SW-GX2A provide?
N9K-C9400-SW-GX2A provides 25600 Gbps switching capacity. Network-facing port speeds and quantities depend on the separately specified line-card expansion modules.
How much power does N9K-C9400-SW-GX2A consume?
N9K-C9400-SW-GX2A consumes 760W typically and 990W at maximum. These are card-level figures, not the complete chassis consumption or a power-supply output rating.
How is N9K-C9400-SW-GX2A managed?
N9K-C9400-SW-GX2A is monitored through its host chassis. NX-OS management includes the console CLI and network management connection; show inventory identifies the installed card. The N9400 system also supports Cisco ACI operation.
Can N9K-C9400-SW-GX2A be replaced with the chassis powered on?
Yes, N9K-C9400-SW-GX2A is hot-swappable, so card replacement does not require chassis shutdown. Use electrostatic-discharge protection, support the card during removal, and prepare an antistatic surface.
Which software licensing options apply to the N9400 system?
The N9400 system supports perpetual NX-OS Advantage through NXOS-AD-CM8, or DCN Essentials, DCN Advantage, and DCN Premier subscriptions with 3-, 5-, or 7-year terms. Software entitlement is a separate chassis-level purchasing decision.
Is N9K-C9400-SW-GX2A end of sale?
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for N9400. N9K-C9400-SW-GX2A remains the switch-card ordering identity for this family.
What are the N9400 switch card's dimensions and weight?
The N9400 switch card measures 123.9 mm high, 438.6 mm wide, and 390 mm deep, and weighs 16.1 kg. These measurements describe the card, not the host chassis.
What conditions and warranties does ORM Systems offer for N9K-C9400-SW-GX2A?
ORM Systems offers N9K-C9400-SW-GX2A new sealed or certified refurbished. ORM warranties provide up to 3-year extended coverage for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units.
