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 inform ation 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.

• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

Grounding the Cisco Nexus 7010 Chassis

The Cisco Nexus 7010 system is grounded through the AC power supply cables and one of two grounding connections on the chassis. The AC power supply cables provide a connection to an earth ground whenever you connect the AC power to the system. The system ground, also referred to as the network equipment building system (NEBS) ground, provides additional grounding for EMI shielding requirements and for the low-voltage supplies (DC-DC converters) on the modules. This grounding system is active even when the AC power cables are not connected to the system. You establish this ground by connecting one of the two grounding pads on the chassis to the rack (if it is connected to an earth ground) or directly to the earth ground for the data center building.

Grounding the Cisco Nexus 7010 Chassis

Send document comments to nexus7k-docfeedback@cisco.com

Prerequisites for Grounding the Chassis

Before you can ground the chassis, you must have a connection to the earth ground for the data center building. If you installed the Cisco Nexus 7010 chassis into a bonded rack (see the rack manufacturer’s instructions for more information) that now has a connection to the data center earth ground, you can ground the chassis by connecting its grounding ports to the rack. Otherwise, you must connect the chassis grounding ports directly to the data center ground.

Required Tools and Equipment

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

• Grounding lug—A two-holed standard barrel lug that supports up to 6 AWG wire. This lug is

supplied with the Cisco Nexus 7010 system accessory kit.

• Grounding screws—Two M4 x 8 mm (metric) pan-head screws. These screws are shipped with the

Cisco Nexus 7010 accessory kit.

• Grounding wire—Not supplied with the Cisco Nexus 7010 system accessory kit. This wire should

be sized to meet 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. We recommend that you use commercially available 6 AWG wire. The length of the grounding wire depends on the proximity of the switch to proper grounding facilities.

• No. 1 Phillips screwdriver.

• Crimping tool to crimp the grounding wire to the grounding lug.

• Wire-stripping tool to remove the insulation from the grounding wire.

Connecting the System Ground

After you have moved the chassis into the rack or cabinet, you are ready to connect the system to the data center earth ground. After you ground the chassis, you can ground your ESD wrist strap by connecting it to the chassis.

To connect the system ground to the data center earth ground, follow these steps:

Step 1 Use a wire-stripping tool to remove approximately 0.75 inch (19 mm) of the covering from the end of

the grounding wire.

Step 2 Insert the stripped end of the grounding wire into the open end of the grounding lug as shown in

Figure 2-5.

Grounding the Cisco Nexus 7018 Chassis

Send document comments to nexus7k-docfeedback@cisco.com

Grounding the Cisco Nexus 7018 Chassis

The Cisco Nexus 7018 system is grounded through the AC power supply cables and one of two grounding connections on the chassis. The AC power supply cables provide a connection to an earth ground whenever you connect the AC power to the system. The system ground, also referred to as the network equipment building system (NEBS) ground, provides additional grounding for EMI shielding requirements and for the low-voltage supplies (DC-DC converters) on the modules. This grounding system is active even when the AC power cables are not connected to the system. You establish this ground by connecting one of the two grounding pads on the chassis to the rack (if it is connected to an earth ground) or directly to the earth ground for the data center building.

This section includes the following topics:

• Prerequisites for Grounding the Chassis, page 3-11

• Required Tools and Equipment, page 3-11

• Connecting the System Ground, page 3-12

• Connecting Your ESD Strap to the Chassis, page 3-13

Prerequisites for Grounding the Chassis

Before you can ground the chassis, you must have a connection to the earth ground for the data center building. If you installed the Cisco Nexus 7018 chassis into a bonded rack (see the rack manufacturer’s instructions for more information) that now has a connection to the data center earth ground, you can ground the chassis by connecting its ground ports to the rack. Otherwise, you must connect the chassis grounding ports directly to the data center ground.

Required Tools and Equipment

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

• Grounding lug—A two-holed standard barrel lug that supports up to 6 AWG wire. This lug is

supplied with the Cisco Nexus 7018 system accessory kit.

• Grounding screws—Two M4 x 8 mm (metric) pan-head screws. These screws are shipped with the

Cisco Nexus 7018 system accessory kit.

• Grounding wire—Not supplied with the Cisco Nexus 7018 system accessory kit. This wire should

• No. 1 Phillips screwdriver.

OL-18634-01

• Crimping tool to crimp the grounding wire to the grounding lug.

• Wire-stripping tool to remove the insulation from the grounding wire.

Connecting the System Ground

After you have moved the chassis into the rack or cabinet, you are ready to connect the system to the earth ground. After you ground the chassis, you can ground your ESD wrist strap by connecting it to the chassis.

To connect the system ground to the earth ground, follow these steps:

Step 1 Use a wire-stripping tool to remove approximately 0.75 inch (19 mm) of the covering from the end of

the grounding wire.

Step 2 Insert the stripped end of the grounding wire into the open end of the grounding lug as shown in

Figure 3-5.

Figure 3-5 Inserting the Grounding Wire in the Grounding Lug

1 NRTL listed 45-degree grounding lug 2 Grounding cable with 0.75 in. of insulation stripped

from the end

Step 3 Use the crimping tool to crimp the lug to the grounding wire. Verify that the ground wire is securely

attached to the ground lug by attempting to pull the wire out of the crimped lug.

Step 4 Remove the adhesive label from one of the two system grounding pads, and secure the grounding wire

lug to the grounding pad with two M4 screws.

Figure 3-6 shows the location of the grounding pad on the

front side of the chassis. Ensure that the grounding lug and the grounding wire do not interfere with other device hardware or rack equipment.

that side of the door open.

Note If the double-hinged door and its holders are not level, it is possible that you will have some difficulty

opening or closing the door on one or both sides. The door is not defective. Either push in the bottom portion of the door or slightly lift up the door on that side just before closing. If the problem persists, open the door from the other side, which should be free of this problem, or adjust the cable management system and hinge bracket so that they are level.

Installing and Formatting CompactFlash Cards

Each supervisor module on a Cisco Nexus 7018 system is shipped with a CompactFlash card installed in the LOG FLASH reader. The EXPANSION FLASH reader is left empty, but you can optionally install a card in that reader. For the card to function with the reader, you must make sure that it is either formatted for the reader before installing it or format it after installing it.

Note The LOG FLASH and EXPANSION FLASH readers require different formats for their cards.

To replace an installed CompactFlash card, see the “Replacing a CompactFlash Card” section on

page 8-15.

To install a CompactFlash card, follow these steps:

Step 1 Align the card with the slot for the CompactFlash reader slot that is labeled LOG FLASH or

EXPANSION FLASH as shown in

Figure 3-22. The grooves on the thin side of the card must begin on

the end of the card that goes into the reader first.

Connecting the Cisco Nexus 7000 Device to the Network

This chapter describes how to connect the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series device (configure its IP address through a console, set up its management interface, and connect its Ethernet ports to the network) after it has been installed in its rack or cabinet.

This chapter includes the following sections:

• Preparing for Connections, page 5-1

• Required Tools and Equipment, page 5-1

• Connecting to the Console, page 5-2

• Creating an Initial Device Configuration, page 5-3

• Setting Up the Management Interface, page 5-4

• Connecting the Supervisor CMP Port, page 5-5

• Connecting an I/O Module, page 5-5

Chapter 5 Connecting the Cisco Nexus 7000 Device to the Network

Connecting to the Console

Send document comments to nexus7k-docfeedback@cisco.com

• If you are creating a management connection to the supervisor module, you need to use a modular,

RJ-45, UTP straight-through or crossover cable.

Connecting to the Console

Before you create a network management connection for a Cisco Nexus 7000 Series device or connect the device to the network, you must create a local management connection through a console terminal and configure an IP address for the device.

You can also use the console to perform the following functions, each of which can be performed through the management interface after you make that connection later on:

• Configure the device using the command-line interface (CLI).

• Monitor network statistics and errors.

• Configure Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent parameters.

• Download software updates.

This local management connection is made between the asynchronous serial port on each Cisco Nexus 7000 Series supervisor module and a console device capable of asynchronous transmission, such as a computer terminal. On the supervisor modules, you use one of the following two asynchronous serial ports:

• CONSOLE SERIAL PORT

This port is used for direct connections to the console.

• COM1/AUX SERIAL PORT

This port is used for modem connections to the console.

Note Before you can connect the console port to a computer terminal, make sure that the computer terminal

supports VT100 terminal emulation. The terminal emulation software makes communication between the device and computer possible during setup and configuration.

To connect the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series device to a computer terminal, follow these steps for each supervisor module installed:

Step 1 Configure the terminal to match the following default port characteristics:

• 9600 baud

• 8 data bits

• 1 stop bit

• No parity

Step 2 Connect an RJ-45 rollover cable to one of the following serial ports on one of the supervisor modules on

the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series device:

• CONSOLE SERIAL PORT—Use this port if you are not using a modem.

Send document comments to nexus7k-docfeedback@cisco.com

Step 3 Route the RJ-45 rollover cable through the center slot in the cable management system and then to the

console or modem.

Step 4 Connect the other end of the RJ-45 rollover cable to the console or to a modem that can connect to the

console. If the console or modem cannot use an RJ-45 connection, use one of the following adapters from the console cable connector kit:

• RJ-45/DSUB F/F adapter

• RJ-45/DSUB R/P adapter

• DB-9F/RJ-45F PC terminal

Creating an Initial Device Configuration

After you create the local management connection with a console, you must assign an IP address to the device management interface so that you can then connect the device to the network.

As soon as you power up the device, it boots up and asks you a series of questions to configure the device. This section explains how to configure the IP address that is required to connect the device to the network. To enable you to connect the device to the network, you can use the default choices for each configuration except the IP address. You can perform the other configurations at a later time as described in the Cisco NX-OS Fundamentals Configuration Guide, Release 4.0.

Before you perform the initial device configuration, you must determine the IP address and netmask needed for the following interfaces:

• Management (Mgmt0) interface

• Connectivity management processor (CMP) for the supervisor module in chassis slot 6

• CMP for the supervisor module in chassis slot 5

Note You should also know the unique name needed to identify the device among the devices in the network.

To define the IP addresses required for an initial device configuration, follow these steps:

Step 1 Power up the device by turning the power switch from STBY (standby) to Power on each power supply

installed in the device chassis.

The Input and Output LEDs on each power supply light up (green) when the power supply units are sending power to the device.

The software asks you to specify a password to use with the device.

Step 2 Enter a new password to use for this device.

The software checks the security strength of your password and rejects your password if it is not considered to be a strong password. To increase the security strength of your password, make sure that it adheres to the following guidelines:

• At least eight characters

• Minimizes or avoids the use of consecutive characters (such as “abcd”)

OL-18634-01

• Minimizes or avoids repeating characters (such as “aaabbb”)

• Does not contain recognizable words from the dictionary

• Does not contain proper names

• Contains both uppercase and lowercase characters

• Contains numbers as well as letters

Examples of strong passwords include the following:

• If2CoM18

• 2004AsdfLkj30

• Cb1955S21

Note Clear text passwords cannot include the dollar sign ($) special character.

Tip If a password is trivial (such as a short, easy-to-decipher password), the software will reject your

password configuration. Be sure to configure a strong password as explained in this step. Passwords are case sensitive.

If you enter a strong password, the software asks you to confirm the password.

Step 3 Enter the same password again.

If you enter the same password, the software accepts the password and begins asking a series of configuration questions.

Step 4 Until you are asked for an IP address, you can enter the default configuration for each question.

Repeat this step for each question until you are asked for the Mgmt0 IPv4 address.

Step 5 Enter the IP address for the management interface.

The software asks for the Mgmt0 IPv4 netmask.

Step 6 Enter a network mask for the management interface.

The software asks if you need to edit the configuration.

Step 7 Enter no.

The software asks if you need to save the configuration.

Step 8 Enter yes.

You can now set up the management interface for each supervisor module on the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series device.

Connecting the Supervisor CMP Port

The CMP, which is included on the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series supervisor module, is a secondary, lightweight processor that provides a second network interface to the system for use even when the Control Processor (CP) is not reachable. You can access the CMP to perform operations, such as taking over the CP console, restarting the CP, or restarting a particular I/O module.

Caution To prevent an IP address conflict, do not connect the CMP MGMT 10/100/1000 Ethernet port to the

network until the initial configuration is complete. For more information, see the

Console” section on page 5-2.

To connect the CMP to the network, follow these steps for each installed supervisor module:

Step 1 Connect a modular, RJ-45, UTP cable to the CMP MGMT ETH port on the supervisor module. Step 2 Route the cable through the cable management system and to the networking device.

To configure the port, see the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Connectivity Management Processor Configuration Guide.

Connecting an I/O Module

After you set up an IP address for the device and create an out-of-band management connection for the device, you can connect the copper (1000Base-T) and fiber optic (SFP+) I/O modules to the network.

Note The 48-port 10/100/1000 Ethernet module has 1000Base-T ports, and the 32-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet

before continuing.

Step 4 Insert a dust plug into the cable end of the transceiver. Step 5 Insert a dust plug into the end of the cable.

Maintaining Transceivers and Fiber-Optic Cables

Transceivers and fiber-optic cables 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:

• Transceivers are static sensitive. To prevent ESD damage, wear an ESD-preventative wrist strap that

is connected to the grounded 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. Clean them before using to prevent dust from

scratching the fiber-optic cable ends.

• Do not touch the ends of connectors. Touching the ends can leave fingerprints and cause other

contamination.

• Clean the connectors 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 procedures.

• Inspect routinely for dust and damage. If you suspect damage, clean and then inspect fiber ends

under a microscope to determine if damage has occurred.
