C9K-F2-SSD-240GB Description
C9K-F2-SSD-240GB is a Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series SATA SSD module for supervisor storage in modular campus switching deployments that need local storage for application hosting. Cisco identifies this PID as the 240GB SSD storage option for the Catalyst 9600 family, places the SSD modules under the supervisor hardware category, documents the supervisor M.2 SATA connector for SSD local storage, and lists Cisco IOS XE Gibraltar 16.11.1 as the introductory software release for this 240GB SSD line.

Application Scenarios
C9K-F2-SSD-240GB fits a Catalyst 9600 bill of materials when the configuration requires the Cisco-listed 240GB SSD storage option for supervisor storage rather than the 480GB or 960GB alternatives.
Use this SKU in designs where the Catalyst 9600 application-hosting plan depends on M.2 SATA storage media. Cisco documents the Catalyst 9600 application-hosting storage path around M.2 SATA modules, so USB-based storage should not be treated as the substitute.
Procurement teams can use C9K-F2-SSD-240GB when the service plan needs a 240GB F2 SSD line item and the maintenance team is prepared to handle the supervisor engine during SSD module work.

- In a C9K-F2-SSD-240GB vs C9K-F2-SSD-480GB comparison, the confirmed difference is 240GB versus 480GB storage capacity within the same Catalyst 9600 F2 SSD group.
- In a C9K-F2-SSD-240GB vs C9K-F2-SSD-960GB comparison, the buyer is comparing the smallest and largest Cisco-listed capacities in this F2 SSD set.
- The C9K-F2-SSD-240GB difference from both adjacent SKUs is not a license tier or line-card capability; it is the selected SSD capacity for Catalyst 9600 supervisor storage.
- For buyers deciding which model to choose, keep the platform and module role the same, then match the order line to 240GB, 480GB, or 960GB storage demand.
Selection Guide
1. Select it for the 240GB F2 SSD requirement
Choose C9K-F2-SSD-240GB when the order needs the Cisco-listed 240GB Catalyst 9600 SSD storage line.
2. Keep the SKU inside Catalyst 9600 supervisor storage planning
Use this SKU as a Catalyst 9600 supervisor storage module, not as a switch chassis, power supply, Ethernet line card, optic, or software license.
3. Compare capacity before approving the order
Move to C9K-F2-SSD-480GB or C9K-F2-SSD-960GB only when the same Catalyst 9600 storage role needs a larger Cisco-listed capacity.
4. Plan the service procedure before installation
Confirm the maintenance window, ESD handling, supervisor access, and software baseline before scheduling SSD module work.
