C9400-SSD-480GB Description
The C9400-SSD-480GB is a Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series 480GB M2 SATA SSD for supervisor local storage in a Catalyst 9400 modular switch. It sits between the 240GB and 960GB options of the same module family, supports IOS XE application hosting that runs on the active supervisor, and uses ext4 by default with ext2, ext3 and VFAT also accepted. It adds storage only, with no Ethernet ports, PoE capacity or switching bandwidth.

Application Scenarios
A data center access or campus core deployment hosting containerized applications on the active supervisor gives the images and their data a 480GB M2 SATA volume on the supervisor.
Engineers who keep packet captures, diagnostic files and staged software images on the supervisor use the card as local storage that they can format, mount, unmount and check from the IOS XE command line.

C9400-SSD-480GB is the middle capacity of the Catalyst 9400 supervisor SSD group: C9400-SSD-240GB offers 240GB and C9400-SSD-960GB offers 960GB, and the comparison table lists all three as supervisor storage for Catalyst 9400 application hosting, with capacity as the only row that separates them. Where 240GB of local storage is too small for container-based applications, C9400-SSD-480GB doubles it. C9400-SSD-960GB is the next step up and matches the 960 GB SSD capacity that Cisco lists for every Catalyst 9400 supervisor. None of the three changes switching ports, PoE or chassis slots.
Ordering Checklist
- Supervisor hosts: Install the module in a Catalyst 9400 supervisor C9400-SUP-1, C9400-SUP-1XL, C9400-SUP-1XL-Y, C9400X-SUP-2 or C9400X-SUP-2XL in a C9404R, C9407R or C9410R chassis. It is supervisor storage, not a line card, chassis or power option.
