Cisco Board Pro 55 G2 CS-BRDP55-K9= – Spare Service Unit Only

Product Overview

A deployed board that fails takes a room out of the booking system, and the replacement window is what the business actually notices. CS-BRDP55-K9= is the Cisco Board Pro 55 G2 service unit held to shorten that window.

The trailing equals sign designates a spare: same hardware, ordered against an existing deployment rather than as part of a new room build.

Because it is the G2 generation, a swap keeps the estate on one software baseline. Cisco's documented minimum for this generation is RoomOS 11.15 or later.

The unit carries the full platform: a 55-inch 4K UHD multi-touch panel, dual 48 MP camera sensors, a 14-element beamforming microphone array and integrated loudspeakers.

Product Description

Sparing works best when the spare matches the fleet exactly. A room documented against a G2 board should be repaired with a G2 board, because the camera behaviour, the framing modes and the port set all match what the room's configuration and user guidance assume.

The physical swap reuses the room. The existing wall mount kit, wall stand or floor stand stays in place, the Ethernet runs are unchanged and the Cisco Room Navigator re-pairs over the board's 802.3af PoE port with its 15.4 W budget. Cisco publishes a board-only weight of 40 kg for the G1 and G2 generations, so the visit needs two people and a clear route.

Source connections are identical, so no re-termination is required: USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode at 4Kp60 with up to 60 W power delivery, HDCP-compatible HDMI 2.0 type A input at 4Kp60, two HDMI 2.0 type A outputs at 4Kp60, two analog microphone inputs and a 3.5 mm stereo line out.

Re-registration follows the room's existing method, whether that is Webex activation, Cisco Unified Communications Manager 12.5(1) or later, Cisco Expressway, a third-party SIP proxy or H.323 gatekeeper, or Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android.

Estates that hold central spares often pair one board per size with a spare mounting kit, because a damaged bracket is the more common cause of delay. Mounting hardware is in display mounts, complete rooms in meeting room bundles and alternative endpoints in interactive displays.

Key Features

• Service-unit designation — Cisco's trailing equals sign marks the part as a spare, ordered to replace a board already in service.
• Exact match to a deployed G2 room — Panel, camera system, framing behaviour and port set are identical, so no room documentation or user guidance changes.
• Reuses the installed mount and cabling — The wall mount, stand and Ethernet runs stay in place, keeping the repair to a single visit.
• Room Navigator re-pairs over PoE — The board's 802.3af Ethernet port with a 15.4 W budget powers and pairs the existing controller.
• Consistent software baseline — RoomOS 11.15 or later applies to the G2 generation, so the estate stays on one release train.
• Full platform capability — Dual 48 MP sensors, automatic best view, speaker tracking, Frames and 5x digital zoom run on the replacement exactly as before.

Typical Applications

• Conference room — A failed board in a standard conference room is returned to service with matching hardware.
• Training room — Teaching spaces with a fixed timetable cannot wait for a procurement cycle.
• Commercial meeting space — Multi-site estates dispatch a central service unit to whichever building reports the fault.
• Government space — Documented room builds are restored without introducing a different model.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the trailing equals sign mean?

Cisco uses it to designate a spare or service unit. The hardware matches the standard SKU; the part number signals a replacement order.

Will it fit the existing mount?

Yes. It is the same Board Pro 55 chassis, and Cisco publishes a board-only weight of 40 kg for the G1 and G2 generations.

Does the Room Navigator need replacing too?

No. The controller connects to the board's 802.3af PoE Ethernet port with a 15.4 W power budget and pairs with the replacement unit.

What software does the replacement need?

RoomOS 11.15 or later for the Board Pro 55 G2.

Which registration methods are available after a swap?

Webex activation, Cisco Unified Communications Manager 12.5(1) or later, Cisco Expressway, third-party H.323 gatekeepers and standards-based SIP proxies, and Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android.

Should a spare mounting kit be held as well?

It is worth considering. Cisco publishes separate spare part numbers for the wall mount kit, wall stand, wall stand adapter, floor stand and wheel upgrade kit.

What warranty applies?

Cisco publishes a 90-day limited liability warranty for this product class. Warranty is handled per Cisco's standard terms; contact Creation Networks to confirm coverage for your order.
