N9K-C9396PX identifies the Cisco Nexus 9396PX, a fixed 2-RU optical leaf with a selectable uplink module in the first-generation Nexus 9300. Cisco documents 48 1/10G SFP+ downlinks and an uplink module supporting up to 12 40G QSFP+ ports. Optional modules, optics, cables, licenses and support are included only when explicitly itemized.
Record all forty-eight SFP+ downlinks with optic code, wavelength, fiber pair and peer, then separately identify the six- or twelve-port 40G uplink module actually installed. A chassis PID alone cannot prove uplink quantity. Group circuits by migration wave and flag long-reach optics that have port-position or successor restrictions. Preserve vPC, routing and ACI/NX-OS operating-mode dependencies, and ensure the replacement has enough temporary ports to run old and new optical fabrics in parallel.
Audit transceivers, identify the uplink module, test vPC or fabric convergence and prove one optical migration wave with rollback.
Cisco lists lifecycle notices for the 9396PX and its uplink modules; reconcile both chassis and module support dates.
