Cisco MDS 9396T 32G Fibre Channel Switch Support

Maintain support alignment for a Cisco MDS 9396T SAN switch configuration using CON-L14OS-DSC9396T. This service coverage SKU corresponds to the 32G Fibre Channel platform with a 96-port chassis and 48 active ports. It is associated with the exhaust-airflow version, allowing the covered hardware configuration to be matched without treating all chassis builds as equivalent. MDS 9396T platforms operate in Fibre Channel storage fabrics where port activation and airflow direction are material characteristics of the installed system. The 48-active-port configuration identifies a partially activated 96-port switch rather than a generic Fibre Channel device. Exhaust airflow is a chassis characteristic relevant when the switch is installed in a rack with a defined hot-aisle and cold-aisle arrangement. This offering is service coverage, not an additional switching chassis, Fibre Channel port activation, or an airflow conversion. Apply it where the installed equipment is the MDS 9396T 32G, 96-port model configured with 48 active ports and exhaust airflow. Keeping that configuration association explicit helps avoid attaching coverage intended for a different chassis build or a switch with a different active-port count.
