Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
When sourcing a replacement for the OS9600/OS9700-CMM, the following models are functionally equivalent or cross-compatible depending on chassis revision and software version:
- OS9600-CMM — CMM variant specific to OmniSwitch 9600 chassis
- OS9700-CMM — CMM variant specific to OmniSwitch 9700 chassis
- OS9600/OS9700-CMM-B — Revised hardware revision (B-suffix), backward compatible
- OS9800-CMM — Higher-capacity CMM for OS9800 chassis; not directly interchangeable but functionally analogous
- Third-party compatible CMMs — Select OEM-equivalent modules tested for OS9600/OS9700 slot compatibility
Always verify chassis hardware revision and AOS software version before substituting CMM modules. Contact support@konmask.com for cross-reference validation.

Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to confirm the correct CMM for your deployment:
- Step 1 — Identify chassis model: Confirm whether your chassis is OS9600 or OS9700 (label on chassis front panel)
- Step 2 — Check hardware revision: Locate the chassis revision label (Rev A / Rev B) to ensure CMM slot compatibility
-
Step 3 — Verify AOS version: Run
show systemvia CLI to confirm current AOS release; CMM firmware must match - Step 4 — Redundancy requirement: If deploying 1+1 redundancy, order two identical CMM units (same part number and revision)
- Step 5 — New vs. refurbished: For production environments, specify new units; for lab or backup, tested-refurbished units are cost-effective

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I use an OS9700-CMM in an OS9600 chassis?
A: The OS9600/OS9700-CMM part number covers both chassis. However, always verify the hardware revision label on your chassis before installation. Contact us for confirmation.
Q: Is the OS9600/OS9700-CMM hot-swappable?
A: Yes. The CMM supports hot-swap replacement. If a redundant CMM is installed, the secondary takes over automatically during the swap with no traffic interruption.
Q: What AOS version is required for this CMM?
A: The OS9600/OS9700-CMM is compatible with AOS 6.x and 7.x releases. Ensure the CMM firmware matches the chassis AOS version before installation.
Q: Do you provide a certificate of conformance or test report?
A: Yes. A functional test report is available for all refurbished units. Certificate of conformance available for new stock upon request.
Q: Can I return a module if it is not compatible?
A: Yes. We accept returns within 30 days for unused modules in original packaging. Please contact support before returning.
