The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television communications at your own expense.

You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:

Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.

Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.

Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.

Note For in-rack or adjacent-rack cabling, the Cisco Nexus 6004 platform supports QSFP+ direct-attach 40 Gigabit Ethernet copper cables, an innovative solution that integrates transceivers with Twinax cables into an energy-efficient, low-cost, and low-latency solution. QSFP+ direct-attach 40 Gigabit Ethernet Twinax copper cables use only 1.5 watts (W) of power per transceiver and introduce less than 0.1 microsecond of latency per link. For longer cable runs, the Cisco Nexus 6004 platform supports multimode, short-reach optical QSFP transceivers. These optical transceivers use approximately 1.5W per transceiver and have a latency of less than 0.1 microsecond.

When lifting the switch chassis, follow these guidelines:

Disconnect all power and external cables before lifting the switch.

Have two people lift the switch. The Cisco Nexus 6004 with three 1100W power supplies, four expansion modules, and four fan modules weighs 122 lb. The Cisco Nexus 6004 with three 1100W power supplies and four fan modules weighs 100 lb.

Ensure that your footing is solid and the weight of the switch is evenly distributed between your feet.

Lift the switch slowly, keeping your back straight. Lift with your legs, not with your back. Bend at the knees, not at the waist.

Installation Guidelines

When installing the Cisco Nexus 6004 switch, follow these guidelines:

Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco Nexus 6000 Series Switches

Preparing for Installation

Se n d d o c u m e n t a t i o n c o m m e n t s t o n ex u s 5 k d o c s @ c i s c o . c o m .

Record the information listed in Appendix G, “Site Planning and Maintenance Records,” as you install and configure the switch.

Ensure that there is adequate space around the switch to allow for servicing the switch and for adequate airflow (Appendix B, “Technical Specifications,” lists the service and airflow requirements).

Ensure that the air-conditioning meets the heat dissipation requirements listed in Appendix B, “Technical Specifications.”

Ensure that the cabinet or rack meets the requirements listed in Appendix A, “Cabinet and Rack Installation.”

Note Jumper power cords are available for use in a cabinet. See the “Jumper Power Cord” section on page C-8.

Ensure that the chassis can be adequately grounded. If the switch is not mounted in a grounded rack, we recommend connecting both the system ground on the chassis and the power supply ground directly to an earth ground.

Ensure that the site power meets the power requirements listed in Appendix B, “Technical Specifications.” If available, you can use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect against power failures.

Caution Avoid UPS types that use ferroresonant technology. These UPS types can become unstable with systems such as the Cisco Nexus 6004 switch, which can have substantial current draw fluctuations because of fluctuating data traffic patterns.

Ensure that circuits are sized according to local and national codes. For North America, the power supply requires a 15-A or 20-A circuit.

Caution To prevent loss of input power, ensure the total maximum loads on the circuits supplying power to the switch are within the current ratings for the wiring and breakers.

Ensure that all fan trays and power supplies have the same airflow drection.

Use the following screw torques when installing the switch:

Captive screws: 4 in-lb (0.45 N·m)

M3 screws: 4 in-lb (0.45 N·m)

M4 screws: 12 in-lb (1.36 N·m)

10-32 screws: 20 in-lb (2.26 N·m)

12-24 screws: 30 in-lb (3.39 N·m)

Required Equipment

Before beginning the installation, ensure that you have the following items available:

Four 12-24 or 10-32 screws for attaching slider rails to the rack

Number 1 and number 2 Phillips screwdrivers with torque capability

3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver

Tape measure and level

ESD wrist strap or other grounding device

Antistatic mat or antistatic foam

The following additional items (not found in the accessory kit) are required to ground the chassis:

Grounding cable (6 AWG recommended), sized according to local and national installation requirements; the required length depends on the proximity of the switch to proper grounding facilities

Crimping tool large enough to accommodate the girth of the lug

Wire-stripping tool

Unpacking and Inspecting the Switch

Caution When handling switch components, wear an ESD strap and handle modules by their handles and carrier edges only. An ESD socket is provided on the chassis. For the ESD socket to be effective, the chassis must be grounded through the power cable, the chassis ground, or the metal-to-metal contact with a grounded rack.

Tip Keep the shipping container in case the chassis requires shipping in the future.

Note The switch is thoroughly inspected before shipment. If any damage occurred during transportation or any items are missing, contact your customer service representative immediately.

To inspect the shipment, follow these steps:

Step 1 Compare the shipment to the equipment list provided by your customer service representative and verify that you have received all items, including the following:

Grounding lug kit

Rack-mount kit

ESD wrist strap

Cables with connectors

Any optional items ordered

Step 2 Check for damage and report any discrepancies or damage to your customer service representative. Have the following information ready:
