C1-N9K-C9516 identifies the Cisco ONE Nexus 9516 chassis with sixteen line-card slots. It is not the B3 starter bundle and should not be described as a complete operational switch.
Cisco documents up to sixteen line cards, ten power supplies, six same-family fabric modules, two system controllers, two same-type supervisors and three fan trays. A validated BOM must populate the required control, fabric, cooling and power components.
Line-card family determines fabric generation, throughput, buffering and software support. Confirm NX-OS or ACI mode, supervisor compatibility, optics, rack/power infrastructure and front-to-back airflow before purchasing the chassis.
Inspect all sixteen slot connectors and guides, fabric and supervisor bays, backplane, rack hardware, covers, serial label and shipping damage. A used chassis photograph cannot prove the included module inventory.
lists one supervisor, three PSUs, two controllers, four fabrics and three fan trays. Compare that exact starter BOM with a separately configured chassis.
Cisco ended sale of the legacy Cisco ONE PID on March 1, 2021; vulnerability support ended February 29, 2024 and the last support date was February 28, 2026. Treat the C1 entitlement and any transfer rights as a separate acceptance item.
