StackPower Connector

The C9300 switches have a StackPower connector for use with Cisco StackPower cables to configure a switch
power stack that includes up to four switches. A switch power stack can be configured in redundant or
power-sharing mode.
You can order these StackPower cables from your Cisco sales representative:
• CAB-SPWR-30CM (0.3-meter cable)
• CAB-SPWR-150CM (1.5-meter cable)
For details about connecting StackPower cables and StackPower guidelines, see

USB 3.0 SSD Port

To support the storage needs on the switch, the Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches provide support for
pluggable 120GB USB 3.0 Solid State Drive (SSD) module. The USB 3.0 SSD module slot is located at the
rear panel of the switch. The storage drive can also be used to save packet captures and trace logs generated
by the operating system. The USB 3.0 SSD device is field replaceable.
For information about installing a USB 3.0 SSD module, see

Ethernet Management Port

You can connect the switch to a host such as a Windows workstation or a terminal server through the
10/100/1000 Ethernet management port or one of the console ports. The 10/100/1000 Ethernet management
port is a VPN routing/forwarding (VRF) interface and uses a RJ-45 crossover or straight-through cable.
Note
The 10/100/1000 Ethernet management port is an RJ-45 connector that should be connected to a Windows
workstation or a terminal server. Do not connect this port to another port in the same switch or to any port
within the same switch stack.
