N9K-C93180LC-EX uses configurable port templates rather than one fixed interface layout. Cisco documents up to 32 fixed 40/50G QSFP+ ports or up to 18 fixed 100G QSFP28 ports, with up to 72 x 10G connections through supported breakout cables. The target NX-OS or ACI design, optics and template must be validated together.
The hardware guide describes four fan modules and two power-supply positions for 1+1 redundancy. Port-side intake and port-side exhaust components are color-coded and must match. AC and DC sources or opposing airflow directions should not be mixed in the chassis.
Cisco's lifecycle notice lists August 30, 2020 as end of sale and August 31, 2025 as the last date of support. Cisco identifies Nexus 9336C-FX2 as the migration product. Any purchase should therefore identify condition, remaining warranty route, software image, licenses, optics, power supplies, fan direction and migration expectations.
