Modular Connectivity for Data Center Spine Expansion
N9K-C9804 is a modular data center switch chassis with four line-card slots in a 10RU enclosure for spine and super-spine deployments. Traffic interfaces come from selected N9K-X9836DM-A or N9K-X98900CD-A line cards rather than fixed access ports, with 100G and 400G connectivity determined by the installed configuration. The Cisco N9800 family operates with NX-OS and supports separate control-plane, fabric, cooling, and power components. N9K-C9808 provides eight line-card slots in a 16RU enclosure. Within the Cisco N9000 portfolio, the four-slot chassis is a modular infrastructure purchase rather than a populated fixed-port switch: the required interface mix determines the completed hardware configuration.

Technical Details
1000000 IPv4 unicast routes represent the architecture's total route scale, distinct from its 96000 IPv4 host routes. Seven N9K-C9804-FM-A fabric modules support line-rate 400G operation; eight provide 7+1 fabric redundancy. N9K-C9804 assigns control-plane functions to N9K-C9800-SUP-A or N9K-C9800-SUP-B, with two supervisor positions available for a redundant configuration. The supervisor console provides NX-OS CLI access, while a dedicated management Ethernet interface supplies a separate physical management connection. Internal power distribution uses a common system busbar. Available operating power depends on the installed power configuration and redundancy mode; supply output ratings are not a chassis power-consumption figure.
Ordering
ORM Systems offers N9K-C9804 new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty on new orders and up to 1 year on certified refurbished orders. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on, POST, clean boot, and module bay recognition; managed units also have firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify the required condition and component quantities before issuing the PO; every condition includes 30-day returns, with terms applying. Enterprise and volume purchasing can use PO acceptance, Net-30 for government, and RMA with advance replacement, with regional stock and RMA across the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

Best For
Mixed-Speed Spine Expansion
When spine expansion requires both existing 100G connections and new 400G connections, N9K-X98900CD-A provides 34 native 100G interfaces and 14 native 400G interfaces per assembly. Map the required connections to that interface mix, then specify the N9K-X98900CD-A quantity and corresponding optical requirements before issuing the PO.
Preproduction Hardware Staging
When an assembled chassis is staged before production installation, unlocking and relocking a line-card ejector without removing the assembly powers it down; an online insertion and removal procedure is required to restore operation. Include that behavior in the acceptance procedure and specify the hardware population to be staged before the PO.
Not Suitable If
800G line cards in this chassis
N9K-C9804-FM-A does not support N9K-X9836E-SP2R-O. N9K-C9808 with N9K-C9808-FM-B and N9K-C9800-SUP-B supports that 800G configuration, but occupies 16RU rather than 10RU.
More than four line-card positions
N9K-C9804 accommodates four line cards. N9K-C9808 accommodates eight, but the larger chassis requires 16RU rather than 10RU; reserve the additional rack space when specifying the alternative.

Questions & Answers
What does the N9K-C9804 part number mean?
N9K-C9804 identifies the Cisco N9800 four-slot chassis; 9800 corresponds to the family and the final 4 to its line-card positions, not installed Ethernet ports. Specify the interface configuration separately, including the selected hardware components and software entitlement, rather than interpreting the identifier as a populated switch configuration.
How is N9K-C9804 managed?
N9K-C9804 uses the NX-OS CLI through a supervisor console and provides a dedicated management Ethernet interface; Nexus Dashboard supplies an additional operations environment. Plan the management connection and, when using Nexus Dashboard, select its physical, virtual, or cloud deployment together with the appropriate switch entitlement.
Which licenses are available for N9K-C9804?
N9K-C9804 supports DCN Essentials, Advantage, and Premier licensing, available as three-, five-, or seven-year subscriptions. Order the selected subscription with the hardware or separately through C1-N9K-ADD-T. MACsec also requires a DCN security license; the hardware condition does not establish entitlement to that additional feature.
Which line cards work with N9K-C9804?
N9K-C9804 supports N9K-X9836DM-A with 36 native 400G interfaces and N9K-X98900CD-A with 14 native 400G interfaces plus 34 native 100G interfaces. Both are compatible with N9K-C9804-FM-A. Specify the selected interface population and optical connections in the completed configuration rather than ordering solely by chassis identifier.
How many fabric modules does N9K-C9804 need?
N9K-C9804 requires seven N9K-C9804-FM-A modules for line-rate 400G operation, or eight for 7+1 fabric redundancy. N9K-X98900CD-A can operate in 100G-only mode with four N9K-C9804-FM-A modules. Specify the fabric population against the selected operating mode and redundancy requirement when preparing the completed hardware configuration.
Which AC power supplies can N9K-C9804 use?
N9K-C9804 supports NXK-HV6.3KW20A-A and NXK-HV6.3KW30A-A, each rated for 6300W output, with N9800-HV-TRAY providing the compatible power assembly. Select the supply configuration against the facility feed and redundancy requirement. Those output ratings describe supply capacity, not the electrical consumption of the completed chassis.
What is the difference between N9K-C9804 and N9K-C9808?
N9K-C9804 provides four line-card positions, whereas N9K-C9808 provides eight line-card positions. The difference changes how many interface assemblies the chassis can accommodate. N9K-C9804 suits a configuration contained within four positions; N9K-C9808 suits a purchase requiring more than four positions for the planned interface population.
What rack space does the N9800 four-slot chassis require?
The N9800 four-slot chassis requires 10RU and measures 444.5 mm high, 443.2 mm wide, and 838.2 mm deep, with a fully loaded weight of 183 kg. Check cabinet depth, rack loading, installation access, and the intended component population before specifying the installation location and receiving arrangements.
What is the lifecycle status of N9K-C9804?
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for N9800. For an N9K-C9804 purchase, keep hardware lifecycle planning separate from software release selection and any service contract on the completed configuration. Specify support coverage independently rather than assuming a chassis order includes an ongoing service agreement.
What conditions and warranties does ORM Systems offer for N9K-C9804?
ORM Systems offers N9K-C9804 new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new orders and up to 1 year for certified refurbished orders. Returns are available for 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's hardware warranty is separate from ORM's warranty on the order.
