C9407R Seven-Slot Chassis

C9407R is the seven-slot Catalyst 9400 chassis with five line-card slots and two dedicated supervisor slots at positions 3 and 4. Order boundary: This base chassis PID does not prove that a supervisor, line card, power supply, cord, software subscription, optics or support service is included.

Capacity and selection decision

Use the five payload positions to build a staged port-density map. Reserve both supervisor positions even when the initial order uses one supervisor, and calculate whether three, four or five occupied line-card slots can be powered under the selected redundancy policy.

Power and software configuration

Catalyst 9400 power supplies, regional cords, supervisor, line cards, Network Stack tier and Cisco DNA or Catalyst subscription selections are configurable order items. Calculate switching, PoE, redundancy, facility circuits and cooling from the final CCW BOM; an empty bay count is not a delivered supply count.

Receiving and commissioning evidence

Record chassis serial, fan tray, accessory kit, supervisor slot, every line card, all power supplies and regional cords. Verify grounding, rack support, inlet clearance and service access before energizing the seven-slot frame.

Lifecycle-ready asset record

Store the final PID, serials, slot map, IOS XE release, entitlement term, Smart Account, power calculation, optics and configuration backup together. Future expansion must be checked against supervisor bandwidth, supported line-card combinations and the active software release.
