Which chassis platforms support the N9K-C9504-FM-S=?
The N9K-C9504-FM-S= is fully compatible with the Cisco Nexus 9504 chassis and occupies a dedicated fabric-module slot for spine-leaf deployments.
What throughput and bandwidth does this fabric module deliver?
Each N9K-C9504-FM-S= delivers up to 100 Gbps per link and aggregates to 3.2 Tbps of bi-directional fabric bandwidth for the Nexus 9504.
Which NX-OS software versions are required?
The N9K-C9504-FM-S= requires Cisco NX-OS Release 9.3(5) or later with the Fabric feature set enabled.
Does the fabric module support hot-swap installation?
Yes. The N9K-C9504-FM-S= is fully hot-swappable, allowing insertion or removal without powering down the chassis.
