Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series 10 Slot Chassis

Engineered for the realities of today’s enterprise networks, the Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series 10 Slot Chassis is the backbone for scalable, secure, and automation-ready connectivity. As organizations accelerate cloud adoption, embrace IoT, and require protection against increasingly sophisticated threats, this modular chassis provides a fabric-enabled foundation designed to automate operations, simplify management, and adapt with your evolving needs. Built for high availability and flexible deployment, the 10-slot chassis supports a diverse range of line cards and supervisor modules, delivering consistent performance across campus, data center, and branch environments. With hot-swappable components, redundant power options, and seamless integration with Cisco DNA Center, it enables policy-based automation, rapid provisioning, and reliable network segmentation at scale.

  • Scalable, modular design with up to 10 line-card slots to accommodate a broad mix of interface types and speeds, enabling future-proof growth from 1G to 400G-plus deployments without replacing the chassis.
  • Fabric-enabled architecture with redundant supervisor modules and hot-swappable power supplies, delivering high availability, fast failover, and minimized downtime for mission-critical networks.
  • End-to-end security and policy automation built into the platform, featuring hardware-assisted security, secure boot, and integrated security workflows that support segmentation, identity, and threat containment at scale.
  • Simplified management and automation through Cisco DNA Center integration, offering policy-based provisioning, telemetry, analytics, and programmable APIs to accelerate deployments and reduce operational overhead.
  • Energy efficiency and reliability designed to reduce total cost of ownership, with optimized cooling, robust chassis cooling fans, modular power options, and maintenance-friendly serviceability to keep networks running smoothly.

how to install Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series 10 Slot Chassis

  • Step 1: Prepare the rack space and environment. Verify rack mounting clearance, power availability, proper airflow, and a clean, static-free workspace before installation. Ensure you have the appropriate C13/C14 or equivalent power cables suitable for your region and the chassis power requirements.
  • Step 2: Mount the chassis securely in the rack. Use appropriate rack ears, screws, and vibration-damping components as specified by Cisco installation guidelines. Confirm level alignment to prevent stress on the chassis during operation.
  • Step 3: Install redundant power supplies. Insert hot-swappable power supply units (PSUs) into their designated sleds, connect power feeds, and verify that both PSUs are receiving power for full redundancy and fault tolerance.
  • Step 4: Deploy supervisor modules and fabric/backbone components. Install the primary and backup supervisor modules according to your design, ensuring correct slot alignment and fan loading. Attach any fabric modules per your network topology to enable cross-chassis communication.
  • Step 5: Install line cards and uplink modules. Insert the required line cards into the 10 slots, followed by uplink/aggregation modules as needed. Verify each module seats firmly and that link LEDs indicate healthy status.
  • Step 6: Power on and perform initial configuration. Connect (out-of-band) management to a console or management network, power up the chassis, and access the CLI or Cisco DNA Center for initial bootstrap, image verification, and fabric/network fabric setup.\n
  • Step 7: Configure baseline policies, security, and management. Implement basic governance, enable desired features (segmentation, QoS, routing protocols, and security policies), and validate with telemetry and monitoring dashboards integrated with DNA Center or compatible management platforms.
  • Step 8: Validate redundancy and failover. Test supervisor failover, power redundancy, and link failover scenarios to confirm high availability, then document recovery procedures for routine maintenance.
