Questions & Answers
What is the N9K-C9504-FM-R Fabric Module?
The N9K-C9504-FM-R is a hot-swappable fabric module for the Cisco Nexus 9504R chassis that provides buffer-enhanced, low-latency, high-speed switching fabric under NX-OS.
Which chassis is the N9K-C9504-FM-R compatible with?
This fabric module is compatible exclusively with the Cisco Nexus 9504R chassis and cannot be used in other Nexus platforms.
What is the throughput capacity of the N9K-C9504-FM-R?
The N9K-C9504-FM-R delivers up to 6.4 Tbps of non-blocking fabric bandwidth, enabling full line-rate performance across all slots.
What buffer support does this module provide?
It offers advanced per-packet buffering across fabric planes, reducing congestion and packet drop in high-burst traffic environments.
How do I install the N9K-C9504-FM-R in the Nexus 9504R?
Power down the chassis, slide the module into an empty fabric slot until it clicks, secure the captive screws, then power on and verify with ‘show module’.
Does the N9K-C9504-FM-R support fabric redundancy?
Yes. You can install two N9K-C9504-FM-R modules in active-active mode for full fabric-plane redundancy and zero downtime failover.
Which NX-OS versions support the N9K-C9504-FM-R?
The module is supported beginning with Cisco NX-OS Release 7.0(3)I and all subsequent maintenance releases.
How do I verify that the fabric module is operating correctly?
Use NX-OS commands such as ‘show module status’ and ‘show platform hardware qfp active statistics’ to confirm fabric health and traffic stats.
Can I upgrade the N9K-C9504-FM-R firmware via NX-OS?
Yes. Perform an in-service firmware upgrade with the ‘install all’ or ‘install feature module firmware’ command sequence under bash.
What are the power requirements for this fabric module?
The N9K-C9504-FM-R draws power directly from the Nexus 9504R chassis power supplies, with typical consumption under 100 watts at full load.
What operational environment does the N9K-C9504-FM-R require?
It operates between 0 °C and 40 °C with 5–90% non-condensing humidity, matching the Cisco Nexus 9504R chassis environmental specifications.
What is the physical footprint and weight of the module?
The module fits a single fabric slot in the Nexus 9504R chassis, occupying 1 RU depth, and weighs approximately 1.1 kg.
What warranty covers the N9K-C9504-FM-R?
Cisco provides a limited lifetime hardware warranty for this module, plus optional SMARTnet support for extended coverage.
How does the N9K-C9504-FM-R improve system performance?
By increasing fabric bandwidth to 6.4 Tbps and adding deep packet buffers, it reduces latency and packet loss during traffic spikes.
Do I need a separate license for buffer support?
No. All buffer-enhanced features are included out of the box with the N9K-C9504-FM-R; no additional licensing is required.
How can I order a replacement or spare N9K-C9504-FM-R?
Order through your authorized Cisco partner or reseller using SKU N9K-C9504-FM-R, and reference Cisco Nexus 9504R fabric module.
