THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. ALL STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.

THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.

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.

The Cisco Nexus 5020 switch is a 2 RU, top-of-rack switch that provides Ethernet and Fibre Channel consolidation in a single physical cable. The Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) protocol is used to consolidate Ethernet and Fibre Channel traffic onto the same physical connection between the server and the switch. As a top-of-rack switch, all the servers in the rack connect to the Cisco Nexus 5020 switch, and it connects to the LAN or SAN.

The Cisco Nexus 5020 switch is a part of a family of switches that provide 10-Gigabit Ethernet and FCoE ports and both 10-Gigabit Ethernet and native 1-, 2-, and 4-Gbps Fibre Channel ports. The switches provide consolidated I/O connectivity to both production Ethernet LANs and Fibre Channel SANs in a cost-effective, high-performance, low-latency Ethernet switch.

The Cisco Nexus 5020 switch has the following features:

• Forty fixed 10-Gigabit Ethernet server connection ports on the back of the switch

Features

The Cisco Nexus 5010 switch is a 1RU, top-of-rack switch that provides Ethernet and Fibre Channel consolidation in a single physical cable. The Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) protocol is used to consolidate Ethernet and Fibre Channel traffic onto the same physical connection between the server and the switch. As a top-of-rack switch, all the servers in the rack connect to the Cisco Nexus 5010 switch, and it connects to the LAN or SAN.

The Cisco Nexus 5010 switch is a part of a family of switches that provide 10-Gigabit Ethernet and FCoE ports and both 10-Gigabit Ethernet and native 1-, 2-, and 4-Gbps Fibre Channel ports. The switches provide consolidated I/O connectivity to both production Ethernet LANs and Fibre Channel SANs in a cost-effective, high-performance, low-latency Ethernet switch.

The Cisco Nexus 5010 switch has the following features:

• One slot on the back of the switch for an optional uplink Gatos Expansion Module [GEM]. There

are several modules which can be accommodated in this slot. Three such modules are N5K-M1404, N5K-M1600 and N5K-M1008.

• Twenty to twenty-eight ports on the back of the switch depending on which GEM is installed. This

is because twenty ports on Cisco Nexus 5010 switch belong to the base switch. Additionally, one module can be inserted which can be of 6 or 8 ports.

• Two slots on the front of the switch for hot swap-capable power supplies.

• Two slots on the front of the switch for fan modules. Each fan module houses six fans. The

combination of six fans per module and two modules provides the switch with a total of 12-fans.

Chassis

The Cisco Nexus 5010 chassis is 1 RU, 1.72 inches tall, 17.3 inches wide and 30.0 inches deep. It is designed to be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack. The switch has two power supplies and two fans modules on the front of the switch. Ports are at the rear of the switch. The airflow is front to back.

The Cisco Nexus 5010 switch has one slot for an optional uplink Gatos Expansion Module (GEM). There are several modules which can be accommodated in this slot. Three such modules are N5K-M1404, N5K-M1600 and N5K-M1008.

• N5K-M1404 provides 4 10G SFP+, and 4 Fiber Channel 1/2/4G SFP based uplink connections. The

10GE ports are encryption capable.

N5K-M1404

• M5K-M1600 provides 6 10G SFP+ based uplink connections.

• N5K-M1008 provides 8 1/2/4G Fiber Channel, SFP based uplink connection.

The chassis supports hot swapping of the expansion modules.

The N5K-M1404 GEM supports four SFP+ transceiver modules and four 1-, 2-, 4-Gbps Fibre Channel transceivers. The Fibre Channel plus Ethernet expansion module is a field-replaceable unit (FRU).

Installation Options

Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco Nexus 5000 Switch

The Cisco Nexus 5000 switch can be installed using the following methods:

• In an open EIA rack, using the following items:

–

The rack-mount kit shipped with the switch

–

The EIA Shelf Bracket Kit (an optional kit, purchased separately)

• In a perforated or solid-walled EIA cabinet, using:

–

The rack-mount kit shipped with the switch

–

The EIA Shelf Bracket Kit (an optional kit, purchased separately)

For instructions on installing the switch using the rack-mount kit shipped with the switch, see the

“Installing the Cisco Nexus 5020 Chassis in a Cabinet or Rack” section on page 2-5.

Note The optional EIA Shelf Bracket Kit is not provided with the switch. To order the kit, contact your switch

provider.

Airflow Considerations

Airflow through the Cisco Nexus 5000 switch is from front to back. Air enters the chassis through the fan trays and power supplies mounted at the front of the chassis and exits the chassis through perforations on the rear of the chassis. To ensure proper airflow, follow these guidelines:

• Maintain ambient airflow throughout the data center to ensure normal operation.

• Consider the heat dissipation of all equipment when determining air-conditioning requirements.

Chassis Weight

When lifting the system, follow these guidelines:

Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Hardware Installation Guide

2-2

When evaluating airflow requirements, take into consideration that hot air generated by equipment at the bottom of the rack can be drawn in the intake ports of the equipment above.

OL-15902-01

Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco Nexus 5000 Switch

Preparing for Installation

Send documentation comments to nexus5kdocs@cisco.com

• Disconnect all power and external cables before lifting the system.

• Have two people to lift the system. The Nexus 5020 weighs 50 lb (22.680 kg) and the Nexus 5010

weighs 35 lb.

• Ensure that your footing is solid and the weight of the system is evenly distributed between your

feet.

• Lift the system 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 5000 switch, follow these guidelines:

• Plan your site configuration and prepare the site before installing the chassis. Appendix D, “Site

Planning and Maintenance Records,” lists the recommended site planning tasks.

• Record the information listed in Appendix D, “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 (

• 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.”

Appendix B, “Technical Specifications,” lists airflow requirements).

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

page C-10.

• Ensure that the chassis is 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 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 5000 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.

Grounding the System

This section describes the need for system grounding and explains how to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge.

Proper Grounding Practices

Figure 2-3.

Figure 2-4.

2-10

Grounding is one of the most important parts of equipment installation. Proper grounding practices ensure that the buildings and the installed equipment within them have low-impedance connections and low-voltage differentials between chassis. When you properly ground systems during installation, you reduce or prevent shock hazards, equipment damage due to transients, and data corruption. lists some general grounding practice guidelines.

Grounding the System

Send documentation comments to nexus5kdocs@cisco.com

Note In all situations, grounding practices must comply with local National Electric Code (NEC)

requirements or local laws and regulations.

Note Always ensure that all of the modules are completely installed and that the captive installation screws

are fully tightened. In addition, ensure that all I/O cables and power cords are properly seated. These practices are normal installation practices and must be followed in all installations.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when modules or other FRUs are improperly handled, results in intermittent or complete failures. Modules consist of printed circuit boards that are fixed in metal carriers. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and connectors are integral components of the carrier. Although the metal carrier helps to protect the board from ESD, always use an ESD grounding strap when handling modules.

For preventing ESD damage, follow these guidelines:

Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco Nexus 5000 Switch

• Always use an ESD wrist strap and ensure that it makes maximum contact with bare skin.

• ESD grounding straps are available with banana plugs, metal spring clips, or alligator clips. All

Cisco Nexus 5000 Series chassis are equipped with a banana plug connector (identified by the ground symbol next to the connector) somewhere on the front panel. We recommend that you use a personal ESD grounding strap equipped with a banana plug.

• If you choose to use the disposable ESD wrist strap supplied with most FRUs or an ESD wrist strap

equipped with an alligator clip, you must attach the system ground lug to the chassis in order to provide a proper grounding point for the ESD wrist strap.

Note This system ground is also referred to as the network equipment building system (NEBS) ground.

• If your chassis does not have the system ground attached, you must install the system ground lug.

See

“Establishing the System Ground” section on page 2-14 for installation instructions and

location of the chassis system ground pads.

Note You do not need to attach a supplemental system ground wire to the system ground lug; the lug provides

a direct path to the bare metal of the chassis.

After you install the system ground lug, follow these steps to correctly attach the ESD wrist strap:

Step 1 Attach the ESD wrist strap to bare skin as follows:

a. If you are using the ESD wrist strap supplied with the FRUs, open the wrist strap package and

unwrap the ESD wrist strap. Place the black conductive loop over your wrist and tighten the strap so that it makes good contact with your bare skin.

b. If you are using an ESD wrist strap equipped with an alligator clip, open the package and remove

the ESD wrist strap. Locate the end of the wrist strap that attaches to your body and secure it to your bare skin.

Send documentation comments to nexus5kdocs@cisco.com

Step 2 Grasp the spring or alligator clip on the ESD wrist strap and momentarily touch the clip to a bare metal

spot (unpainted surface) on the rack. We recommend that you touch the clip to an unpainted rack rail so that any built-up static charge is then safely dissipated to the entire rack.

Step 3 Attach either the spring clip or the alligator clip to the ground lug screw as follows (See Figure 2-7.):

a. If you are using the ESD wrist strap that is supplied with the FRUs, squeeze the spring clip jaws

open, position the spring clip to one side of the system ground lug screw head, and slide the spring clip over the lug screw head so that the spring clip jaws close behind the lug screw head.

Note The spring clip jaws do not open wide enough to fit directly over the head of the lug screw or

the lug barrel.

b. If you are using an ESD wrist strap that is equipped with an alligator clip, attach the alligator clip

directly over the head of the system ground lug screw or to the system ground lug barrel.

The following illustration displays how to attach the ESD Wrist Strap to the System Ground Lug Screw for the 5020 switch. Follow the same procedure for the 5010 switch.

Send documentation comments to nexus5kdocs@cisco.com

In addition, follow these guidelines when handling modules:

• Handle carriers by available handles or edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit boards or

connectors.

• Place a removed component board-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static-shielding container.

If you plan to return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static-shielding container.

• Never attempt to remove the printed circuit board from the metal carrier.

Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be

between 1 and 10 megohm (Mohm).

Establishing the System Ground

This section describes how to connect a system ground to the Cisco Nexus 5000 switch.

Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco Nexus 5000 Switch

Note This system ground is also referred to as the network equipment building system (NEBS) ground.

You must use the system (NEBS) ground on AC-powered systems if you are installing this equipment in a U.S. or European Central Office.

The system (NEBS) ground provides additional grounding for EMI shielding requirements and grounding for the low-voltage supplies (DC-DC converters) on the modules, and is intended to satisfy the Telcordia Technologies NEBS requirements for supplemental bonding and grounding connections. You must observe the following system grounding guidelines for your chassis:

• You must install the system (NEBS) ground connection with any other rack or system power ground

connections that you make. The system ground connection is required if this equipment is installed in a U.S. or European Central Office.

• You must connect both the system (NEBS) ground connection and the power supply ground

connection to an earth ground. The system (NEBS) ground connection is required if this equipment is installed in a U.S. or European Central Office.

• You do not need to power down the chassis because the Cisco Nexus 5020 switch is equipped with

AC-input power supplies.

Required Tools and Equipment

To connect the system ground, you need the following tools and materials:

• Grounding lug—A two-hole standard barrel lug. Supports up to 6 AWG wire. Supplied as part of

accessory kit.

• Grounding screws—Two M4 x 8mm (metric) pan-head screws. Supplied as part of the accessory kit.

• Grounding wire—Not supplied as part of accessory kit. The grounding wire should be sized

according to local and national installation requirements. Depending on the power supply and system, a 12 AWG to 6 AWG copper conductor is required for U.S. installations. Commercially available 6 AWG wire is recommended. The length of the grounding wire depends on the proximity of the switch to proper grounding facilities.

CHAPTER

Connecting the Cisco Nexus 5000 Switch

The Cisco Nexus 5000 switch provides the following types of ports:

• Console port —An RS-232 port that you can use to create a local management connection.

• Ethernet ports, both encrypted and unencrypted—These ports can be used to connect to a LAN.

• Fibre Channel ports—These ports can be used to connect to a SAN.

Caution When running power and data cables in overhead or subfloor cable trays, Cisco Systems strongly

recommends that power cables and other potential noise sources must be located as far away as practical from network cabling that terminates on Cisco Systems equipment. In situations where long parallel cable runs cannot be separated by at least 3.3 ft (1 potential noise sources by housing them in a grounded metallic conduit.

Preparing for Network Connections

Send documentation comments to nexus5kdocs@cisco.com

Preparing for Network Connections

When preparing your site for network connections to the Cisco Nexus 5000 switch, consider the following for each type of interface, and gather all the required equipment before connecting the ports:

• Cabling required for each interface type

• Distance limitations for each signal type

• Additional interface equipment required

Connecting to the Console Port

The console port is an RS-232 port with an RJ-45 interface. (See Figure 3-1.) The console port is an asynchronous (async) serial port; any device connected to this port must be capable of asynchronous transmission.

We recommend using this port to create a local management connection to set the IP address and other initial configuration settings before connecting the switch to the network for the first time.

Chapter 3 Connecting the Cisco Nexus 5000 Switch

Caution The console port can be used to connect to a modem. If you do not connect it to a modem, connect it

either before powering the switch on or after the switch has completed the boot process.

Figure 3-1 shows how to connect to the console port on the Cisco Nexus 5020 switch. The process is

identical for the Cisco Nexus 5010 switch.

You can use the console port to perform the following:

• Configure the Cisco Nexus 5000 switch from the CLI.

• Monitor network statistics and errors.

• Configure SNMP agent parameters.

• Download software updates.

You can use the console port to perform the following:

• Configure the Cisco Nexus 5010 switch from the CLI.

• Monitor network statistics and errors.

• Configure SNMP agent parameters.

• Download software updates.

Note To connect the console port to a computer terminal, the computer must support VT100 terminal

emulation. The terminal emulation software (frequently an application such as HyperTerminal or Procomm Plus) makes communication between the Cisco Nexus 5000 switch and a computer possible during setup and configuration.

To connect the console port to a computer terminal, follow these steps:

Step 1 Configure the terminal emulator program to match the following default port characteristics: 9600 baud,

8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.

Step 2 Connect the RJ-45 connector of the console cable to the console port (see Figure 3-1) and the DB-9

connector to the computer serial port.

Note For configuration instructions, see the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series CLI Configuration Guide.

Connecting to the Ethernet Connector Port

Caution To prevent an IP address conflict, do not connect the management port to the network until the initial

configuration is complete. For configuration instructions, see the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switch Configuration Guide.

The Ethernet connector port has an RJ-45 interface.

To connect the Ethernet connector port to an external hub, switch, or router, follow these steps:

Step 1 Connect the appropriate modular cable to the Ethernet connector port:

• Use modular, RJ-45, straight-through UTP cables to connect the Ethernet connector port to an

Ethernet switch port or hub.

• Use a cross-over cable to connect to a router interface.

Step 2 Connect the other end of the cable to the device.

Step 4 Insert a dust plug onto the end of the cable.

Maintaining SFP+ Transceivers and Cables

SFP+ transceivers must be kept clean and dust-free to maintain high signal accuracy and prevent damage to the connectors. Attenuation (loss of light) is increased by contamination and should be below 0.35 dB.

Consider the following maintenance guidelines:

• SFP+ transceivers are static sensitive. To prevent ESD damage, wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap

that is connected to the chassis.

• Do not remove and insert a transceiver more often than is necessary. Repeated removals and

insertions can shorten its useful life.

• Keep all optical connections covered when not in use. If they become dusty, clean before using to

prevent dust from scratching the fiber-optic cable ends.

• Do not touch ends of connectors to prevent fingerprints and other contamination.

• Clean regularly; the required frequency of cleaning depends upon the environment. In addition,

clean connectors if they are exposed to dust or accidentally touched. Both wet and dry cleaning techniques can be effective; refer to your site’s fiber-optic connection cleaning procedure.

Connecting to a Fibre Channel Port

• Inspect routinely for dust and damage. If damage is suspected, clean and then inspect fiber ends

under a microscope to determine if damage has occurred.

as well. As a result, both 110V and 220V inputs are supported and the labels on the chassis moving forwards will reflect this capability. A new software release will be required to support this capability.

Specifications for the Cisco Nexus 5010 Power Supply

The power supplies connect to the system through panel mount connectors and connectors attach to the

baseboard through cables. There are total of 3 connectors on the baseboard, two for power delivery, and

one for power supply control signals.
