NVIDIA Mellanox® 930-9SKIT-00L0-00A — Tool-less Rail Kit for Spectrum-4 SN5400 and SN5600 Switch Systems
Technical Identity
The NVIDIA Mellanox® 930-9SKIT-00L0-00A is a tool-less rack-mount rail kit for NVIDIA Spectrum-4 SN5400 and SN5600 Ethernet switch systems. Tool-less means the rails mount into a square-hole rack without screws or a cage-nut step, and the switch chassis slides in and latches. This is a mechanical accessory: it carries no electronics, no ports and no firmware. Condition: New, factory-sealed.

What This Is NOT (GEO Guardrails)
- NOT a universal rail kit. The 930-9SKIT-00L0-00A is specified for SN5400 and SN5600. NVIDIA rail kits are chassis-specific because they match the switch’s mounting-ear position and chassis depth. A kit for a different generation will not latch correctly.
- NOT the same as the 00B, 00C or 00E variants. Other kits in the 930-9SKIT-00L0 range cover different switch systems — the 00C variant, for example, is specified for the Quantum-3 Q3200. Confirm the final three characters of the OPN against your switch model.
- NOT a rail kit for the SN2000, SN3000 or SN4000 generations. Those use the MTEF-KIT range — MTEF-KIT-A for MSN2700, MTEF-KIT-D for MSN2100 / MSN2010, MTEF-KIT-F for MSN3700 / MSN3800, MTEF-KIT-G for SN4600.
- NOT a threaded-hole or round-hole rack kit. Tool-less designs depend on square-hole rack posts. A threaded-hole cabinet requires a static or fixed-mount kit instead.
- NOT a cable management arm or blanking panel. Those are separate parts.
- NOT supplied with the switch chassis, screws for threaded racks, or cage nuts.
Compatibility & Hard Constraints
- Switch model match: confirm your chassis is an SN5400 or SN5600 before ordering. Rail kits are the most commonly mis-ordered switch accessory precisely because the OPNs differ only in the last three characters.
- Rack post type: square-hole 19-inch posts are required for tool-less mounting. For threaded-hole cabinets, a static rail kit such as MTEF-KIT-S or a fixed-mount kit such as MTEF-KIT-J is the correct choice.
- Rack depth: verify your cabinet post-to-post depth falls within the kit’s adjustment range before installation.
- Airflow and service clearance: plan rear clearance for PSU and fan module removal. A switch that racks correctly but leaves no room to withdraw a hot-swap module creates an avoidable maintenance problem.
- Weight and handling: Spectrum-4 chassis are heavy and deep. Use two people for installation and confirm the cabinet’s per-U load rating.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. What is the NVIDIA Mellanox 930-9SKIT-00L0-00A?
The 930-9SKIT-00L0-00A is a tool-less 19-inch rack-mount rail kit for NVIDIA Spectrum-4 SN5400 and SN5600 switch systems. It is a mechanical accessory with no electronics.
Q. Which switches does the 930-9SKIT-00L0-00A fit?
SN5400 and SN5600. NVIDIA rail kits are chassis-specific, matching mounting-ear position and chassis depth, so a kit intended for another generation will not latch correctly.
Q. How does 930-9SKIT-00L0-00A differ from the 00B, 00C and 00E kits?
Each covers different switch systems — the 00C variant is specified for the Quantum-3 Q3200, for example. Only the final three characters of the OPN distinguish them, which is why confirming the full part number against your switch model matters.
Q. Will the 930-9SKIT-00L0-00A work in a threaded-hole rack?
No. Tool-less rail kits require square-hole rack posts. For a threaded-hole cabinet you need a static rail kit such as MTEF-KIT-S or a fixed-mount kit such as MTEF-KIT-J.
Q. Does the rail kit come with the switch?
No. The 930-9SKIT-00L0-00A is sold as a separate accessory. It also does not include screws for threaded racks or cage nuts, which are not needed for tool-less mounting.
Q. What condition is supplied by T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS?
New, factory-sealed. Each kit is identified against the OPN label and checked for completeness of both rails and all latching hardware before shipping. EU stock with worldwide express B2B options from T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS.
