Supervisor-2 is the control module that runs in the Cisco MDS 9506, 9509 and 9513 Multilayer Directors, and DS-X9530-SF2-K9 is the Cisco MDS 9500 Series Supervisor-2 Module with that part number. It occupies one supervisor slot and needs Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.0(1) or later.
Switching bandwidth is 700 Gbps per module, or 1.4 Tbps with both supervisors present. Combined with the MDS 9513 crossbar module the figure is 1.1 Tbps, or 2.2 Tbps with both crossbar modules. A chassis with these supervisors holds up to 528 Fibre Channel ports, 1584 in one rack, at 1, 2, 4 and 10-Gbps port speeds. Fibre Channel, FICON, iSCSI and FCIP all run in the one system, and Fabric Shortest Path First multipathing balances traffic across up to 16 equal-cost paths.
The front panel has an RS-232 RJ-45 console port, a 10/100/1000 Ethernet management port, a DB-9 COM port, a CompactFlash interface and two USB 2.0 ports, plus four status LEDs. MEM-MDS-FLD512M is the matching 512-MB external CompactFlash card for the MDS 9509. The spare number is DS-X9530-SF2-K9=. FCoE deployment is covered by the DS-X9530-SF2AK9 Supervisor-2A module, and other MDS 9500 gear is in Cisco switches.
