When a vendor has not published an exact date, we render an estimated range with an explicit confidence score — never an empty cell. See how to read TPM library records honestly.
Failure Outlook
Age: 8.9 years
Failure likelihood: 35%
Likely to fail (most → least)
- PSU capacitors (500W AC, high thermal cycling)
- Fan modules (NXA-FAN-30CFM, bearing wear)
- Internal SSD (NX-OS bootflash wear per FN70538)
- ASIC memory (FN72464 memory failure risk on 9300 series)
Indicative TPM Pricing
Indicative — not a quote.
| SLA tier | Annual | Monthly |
|---|---|---|
| 9×5 NBD | $600 – $950 | $50 – $79 |

Pricing confidence: ●●○○○
Monthly = annual ÷ 12. Real TPM monthly billing is typically ~5–10% higher than this — use annual for accurate budgeting.

Find parts for this unit
Bushido publishes the standard bill of materials above. For substitute part chains, current pricing, and serial- or service-tag-specific configurations, go straight to the manufacturer's own portal — the authoritative source. We don't scrape or resell parts data, and we earn nothing from these links.
Cisco — official sources
Cisco spare-part sourcing runs through Cisco Commerce / partners; the support product page lists compatible modules and optics.
No single manufacturer publishes a cross-vendor "alternative parts" list, and no one official aggregates across all vendors. Lenovo and HPE expose substitute chains publicly; Dell and Sun/Oracle keep them internal or gated. These links are the honest map of where each vendor's data actually lives. If a link is dead or a portal has moved, tell us and we'll fix it.

Standard Bill of Materials (at GA)
The Cisco Nexus 93180YC-FX (N9K-C93180YC-FX) ships as a 1RU fixed-port top-of-rack switch with 48 SFP+ downlink ports capable of 1/10/25GbE Ethernet or 8/16/32G Fibre Channel (Unified Ports), and 6 fixed QSFP28 uplink ports supporting 40/100GbE. The base chassis includes two hot-swappable 500W AC power supplies in 1+1 redundant configuration (port-side exhaust, blue coloring, NXA-PAC-500W-PE), four hot-swappable fan modules (NXA-FAN-30CFM-F, port-side exhaust), a 1GbE out-of-band management port (RJ45), a console port (RS-232), one USB port, and one SFP+ management port. No optics, transceivers, or network OS licenses are included in the base hardware SKU; NX-OS software and any ACI, Essentials, or Advantage tier licenses must be ordered separately. The switch supports both NX-OS standalone mode and Cisco ACI leaf mode.

BOM reflects the standard base hardware configuration at GA. No SFP/QSFP optics or DAC/AOC cables are included; these must be ordered separately (see Cisco Optics Compatibility Matrix). NX-OS software licenses (Essentials, Advantage, Premier) and ACI licenses are not included. Service-parts numbers may have been superseded; always cross-reference with Cisco's spare-parts portal (cisco.com/go/midc or the Cisco Commerce Workspace) before ordering.
BOM is AI-synthesized from public datasheets. Cross-reference with the vendor's spare-parts portal before ordering.
