N9K-C9504-B3-E - Cisco Nexus 9504 chassis bundle

N9K-C9504-B3-E FM-E Package

N9K-C9504-B3-E contains the Nexus 9504 chassis, one supervisor, three power supplies, two system controllers, four FM-E fabric modules and three fan trays.

FM-E is the defining difference

The E package explicitly names FM-E. lists four fabrics without that suffix; verify N9K-C9504-FM-E labels rather than treating the descriptions as equivalent.

Four-slot chassis limits

The 9504 can accept four line cards, six same-family fabric modules, four PSUs and two same-type supervisors. Four FM-E modules and one supervisor are the stated bundle population.

Complete the forwarding BOM

Line cards, transceivers and cables are not in the official bundle line. Validate every chosen card against FM-E, supervisor, NX-OS/ACI release and required per-slot capacity.

Redundancy review

Three PSUs and one supervisor may not match every availability target. Calculate normal/failure power and determine whether a second supervisor or additional compatible fabrics are required.

Physical acceptance

Count and record each module, inspect the backplane and slot connectors, and confirm common airflow across cards, fabrics, fans and power components.
