Sata Ssd Module; Power Supply Slots - Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series Hardware Installation Manual

Product Overview
• RJ-45 console port (EIA/TIA-232). The RJ-45 console port connection uses an RJ-45-to-DB-9 female
• USB-C console port
If you use USB-C console ports, the Cisco Windows USB device driver must be installed on any PC connected
to the console port (for operation with Microsoft Windows). Mac OS X or Linux do not require special drivers.
Figure 7: USB-C Console Port
With the Cisco Windows USB device driver, you can connect and disconnect the USB cable from the console
port without affecting Windows HyperTerminal operations.
The console output always goes to both the RJ-45 and the USB console connectors, but the console input is
active on only one of the console connectors at any one time. The USB console takes precedence over the
RJ-45 console. When a cable is connected into the USB console port, the RJ-45 console port becomes inactive.
Conversely, when the USB cable is disconnected from the USB console port, the RJ-45 port becomes active.
You can use the command-line interface (CLI) to configure an inactivity timeout which reactivates the RJ-45
console if the USB console has been activated and no input activity has occurred on the USB console for a
specified time.
After the USB console deactivates due to inactivity, you cannot use the CLI to reactivate it. Disconnect and
reconnect the USB cable to reactivate the USB console. For information on using the CLI to configure the
USB console interface, see the Software Configuration Guide for Catalyst 9500 Switches.

SATA SSD Module

To support the storage needs on the switch, the Cisco Catalyst 9500X Series Switches provide support for
pluggable Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) Solid State Drive (SSD) module. The SSD
module storage capacity ranges are 240GB, 480GB and 960GB. SATA SSD works as a general-purpose
storage device. The storage drive can also be used to save packet captures and trace logs generated by the
operating system.

Power Supply Slots

The switch has two power supply slots that accept AC and DC input power supplies. The power supply
modules are field replaceable units (FRUs) and are hot-swappable. The chassis is delivered with one power
supply pre-installed in the power supply slot. If only one power supply is ordered, then a blank cover is
installed in the empty power supply slot, which must remain installed if a power supply is not installed.
The following table describes the internal power supply modules supported on different switch models:
