It turns a Nexus 9504, 9508, or 9516 chassis into a high-density 40GB spine for a Cisco ACI fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe card works with the first-generation N9K-C9504-FM, N9K-C9508-FM, and N9K-C9516-FM fabric modules, and Cisco calls for six fabric modules. It has a 42MB buffer, and Cisco lists power draw at 197W typical and 211W maximum. Line cards can be added to open slots as the network grows. Cisco lists a spare version, N9K-X9736PQ=.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn an ACI fabric, every leaf switch connects to every spine, so the 36 ports on each card set how many leaf switches a spine can serve. The QSFP+ ports accept 40GB optics and direct attach cables, including BiDi optics that reuse existing duplex multimode fiber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a Nexus 9504, the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.networktigers.com\/products\/n9k-c9504-fm-cisco-module\"\u003eCisco N9K-C9504-FM Nexus 9504 fabric module\u003c\/a\u003e is the matching fabric module.
