N9K-C9516 Overview
Sixteen line-card slots in the Nexus 9516 chassis
N9K-C9516 identifies the Cisco Nexus 9516 modular chassis. It provides sixteen line-card slots in a 21RU enclosure. Keep this base PID distinct from the B0, B1, B2 and B3 bundle orders: a chassis listing does not establish which supervisors, power supplies, fabric modules or line cards are included.
Module capacity is not the supplied bill of materials
The platform accommodates up to ten power supplies, six fabric modules, two system controllers, two supervisors and three fan trays. These figures describe chassis capacity. Request an installed-component list and verify matching fabric and supervisor types before treating the offer as a deployable system.
Check each line card against the fabric and software plan
Choose line cards, optics and fabric modules as a supported combination for the required NX-OS or ACI role. Do not apply the family-wide maximum Ethernet speeds or port counts to an unspecified 9516 configuration. Include rack mounting, airflow, power budget and service access in the installation review.
Use the chassis-specific lifecycle milestones
Cisco lists January 29, 2027 as the end-of-sale date for N9K-C9516 and January 31, 2032 as the final support date, subject to applicable entitlement. These dates differ from older fabric-module and Cisco ONE notices. Check every installed component separately; the chassis support window does not extend the life of an unsupported module.
