C9407R-1A - Cisco Catalyst C9400 Series 7 slot chassis 1 Year

C9407R-1A Seven-Slot Catalyst 9400 Configuration

C9407R-1A is a configured Catalyst 9400 offer based on the C9407R chassis. It has seven total slots, with two supervisor positions and five line-card positions. Cisco's ordering rules associate -A with Network Advantage and an Advantage term subscription; the -1A string alone does not prove the installed supervisor, card or power-supply quantities.

Five access-module slots

Slots 3 and 4 are reserved for supervisors, while slots 1-2 and 5-7 accept line cards. Cisco publishes up to 240 access ports when five applicable 48-port modules are installed. This is 144 ports below the eight-card C9410R-1A maximum, but the 7-slot platform can reduce rack and unused-slot overhead for medium-density designs.

Fabric selection is not fixed by chassis

C9407R supports 1+1 supervisor redundancy. Published per-slot bandwidth is 80Gbps with Supervisor 1, 120Gbps with Supervisor 1XL/1XL-Y, 240Gbps with Supervisor 2 and 480Gbps with Supervisor 2XL. Match line-card requirements and oversubscription design to the actual supervisor PID instead of assigning the highest figure to every C9407R-1A quote.

Rack and power design

The chassis is 10RU and provides up to eight power-supply positions. Supply PIDs, installed count, AC/DC input, cord region and independent circuit map determine available system and PoE power. Verify the C9407 fan tray, accessory/rack kit, blanks, grounding and front/rear service clearance before delivery.

License and commissioning record

Collect the Cisco CCW or sales-order BOM and verify chassis, supervisors, SSDs, line cards, optics, PSUs, cords and software image. Confirm the Network Advantage entitlement, mandatory subscription term and Smart Account destination. Test inventory, fan/power alarms, supervisor switchover, line-card recovery, PoE budget and representative forwarding.

Move to C9410R-1A only when eight line-card slots or the resulting port density is genuinely required.
