N9K-SUP-A+ is the Cisco N9500 4-Core/8-Thread Supervisor, and its spare form is N9K-SUP-A+(=). The processor is a 4-core, 8-thread 1.8 GHz x86, and the module carries 16 GB of DRAM and a 64 GB SSD.
The module is hot swappable with port-side intake airflow. Typical power is 69 W and maximum power is 80 W. It weighs 5.2 lb (2.37 kg) and has an MTBF of 414,240 hours. The earlier N9K-SUP-A has a 4-core, 4-thread processor, weighs 4.84 lb (2.2 kg), shares the 16 GB, 64 GB and power figures and has a 312,070-hour MTBF.
Supervisors go into the Cisco Nexus N9K-C9504, N9K-C9508 and N9K-C9516 chassis, with up to 2 supervisors of the same type in each. A redundant pair manages the switch in a state-synchronized active-standby model, and redundant supervisors should be the same type within a chassis. All supervisors support both Cisco ACI and NX-OS deployments. The supervisor family provides two USB ports, a serial port and a 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet port, and accepts an external clock.
