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. 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.

Overview

This chapter provides an overview of the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switches, which include the Cisco
Nexus 5000 Platform switches and the Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform switches. The overview of each of
these switches includes information on the expansion modules, power supplies, and fan modules that you
can include with them.

This chapter includes the following sections:

• Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform Switches, page 1-1

• Cisco Nexus 5000 Platform Switches, page 1-29

Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform Switches

The Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform supports the following application scenarios, many of which require the
installation of other products:

• As an access-layer switch, it can be used purely as a 1- and 10-Gigabit Ethernet switch,

consolidating 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections into a smaller number of server connections trunked
to the aggregation layer.

CHAPTER

1

OL-15902-01

• As a smaller-scale aggregation switch, it can be used as a Layer 3 1- and 10-Gigabit Ethernet switch,

consolidating multiple 1- and 10-Gigabit Ethernet connections from a data center access layer.

• In conjunction with the Cisco Nexus 2248T GE Ethernet Fabric Extender, the Cisco Nexus 5500

Platform can be a high-density 1-Gigabit Ethernet switching system, consolidating more than 900
Gigabit Ethernet connections within a single management plane.

• In conjunction with the Cisco Nexus 2232T 10GE Fabric Extender, it can be a high-density

switching system, consolidating more than 600 10-Gigabit Ethernet connections within a single
management plane.

• In conjunction with the Cisco Nexus 2224TM 10GE Fabric Extender, it can be a high-density

switching system, consolidating more than 600 10-Gigabit Ethernet connections within a single
management plane

• As a rack-level I/O consolidation platform, the switch carries Ethernet traffic from servers to the

aggregation layer and carries FC traffic to existing Fibre Channel SANs.

• As a crucial element in data center I/O consolidation, the switch enables I/O consolidation at the

access layer and provides interoperability with the Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform and other
standards-based products.

Chassis

The Cisco Nexus 5596UP switch is a top-of-rack, 10-Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre channel over Ethernet
(FCoE) switch offering up to 1920 Gigabit throughput and up to 96 ports. The switch has 48 1- and
10-Gigabit Ethernet and FCoE ports and three expansion slots. As a top-of-rack switch, all the servers
in the rack connect to the Cisco Nexus 5596UP switch, and it connects to the LAN or SAN.

The Cisco Nexus 5596UP switch has the following features:

• 48 fixed 1- and 10-Gigabit Ethernet server connection ports on the back of the switch

• Three slots on the back of the switch for optional expansion modules, which can be either a 16-port

10-Gigabit generic expansion module 2 (GEM2) or a layer 3 GEM2

• Two slots on the front of the switch for hot swap-capable power supplies, which provide

front-to-back airflow for cooling

• Four slots on the front of the switch for hot swap-capable fan modules.

• Layer 2 or Layer 3 I/O modules

• One USB port on the front of the switch

The Cisco Nexus 5596UP chassis is 2 RU or 3.47 inches (8.8 cm) tall, 17.3 inches (43.9 cm) wide, and

29.5 inches (74.9 cm) deep. It is designed to be mounted in a standard 19-inch wide rack. The front of
the switch, shown in Figure 1-1, has a USB port, four Ethernet and ports (two cross-connect ports, one
management port, and one console port), two power supplies, and four fan modules.

On the Cisco Nexus 5500 Platforms, you can use an innovative Twinax copper cable that connects to
standard SFP+ connectors for in-rack use and on the optical cable for longer cable runs.

For in-rack or adjacent-rack cabling, the Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform supports SFP+ direct-attach
10-Gigabit Ethernet copper, which integrates transceivers with Twinax cables into an energy efficient,
low-cost, and low-latency solution. SFP+ direct-attach 10-Gigabit Twinax copper cables use only

0.1 W of power per transceiver and introduce only approximately 0.25 microsecond of latency per link.

For longer cable runs, the Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform supports multimode, short-reach optical SFP+
transceivers. These optical transceivers use approximately 1 W per transceiver and have a latency of
less than 0.1 microsecond.

Features

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 4-, 2-, or 1-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 is a 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 4-, 2-, or 1-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 Generic Expansion Module [GEM]. The

following modules can be inserted into this slot: N5K-M1404, N5K-M1600 and N5K-M1008.

• There are 20 to 28 ports on the back of the switch depending on which GEM is installed. Twenty

ports on Cisco Nexus 5010 switch belong to the base switch. Additionally, you can insert a module
with six or eight ports.

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

1-40

• 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.

• The L1/L2/Mgmt1 ports are not usable. They are disabled at this time

Preparing for Installation

This section describes how to prepare the Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform switch or the Cisco Nexus 5000
Platform switch for installation. This section includes the following topics:

• Installation Options with Racks and Cabinets, page 2-2

• Airflow Direction, page 2-2

• Chassis Weight, page 2-2

• Installation Guidelines, page 2-3

• Required Equipment, page 2-4

• Unpacking and Inspecting the Switch, page 2-4

Installation Options with Racks and Cabinets

The Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform switches and the Cisco Nexus 5000 Platform switches can be installed
in the following types of racks using a rack-mount kit shipped with the switch:

• Open EIA rack

• Perforated EIA cabinet

To enable you to easily mount your switch in any qualifying rack, you can attach the rack-mount brackets
to accommodate racks of different depths. For instructions on how to use a rack-mount kit, see the

“Installing the Switch” section on page 2-5.

Airflow Direction

The airflow through the fan trays and power supplies on the Cisco Nexus 5548 UP switch is either from
front to back or from back to front, depending on how the modules were ordered. The airflow through
the other Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switches is from front to back. To ensure proper airflow, you must
make sure that when you install the switch its air intake is positioned in a cold aisle and the air exhaust
is positioned in a hot aisle for your data center.

Chassis Weight

When lifting the switch chassis, follow these guidelines:

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

• Have two people lift the switch. These switches have the following weights:

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

–

The Cisco Nexus 5596 switch weighs 50 lb (22.68 kg)

–

The Cisco Nexus 5548 switch weighs 32 lb (14.51 kg).

–

The Cisco Nexus 5020 switch weighs 50 lb (22.68 kg).

–

The Cisco Nexus 5010 switch weighs 35 lb (15.88 kg).

2-2

• 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 5500 Platform switch or the Cisco Nexus 5000 Platform switch, follow
these guidelines:

• 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-9.

• 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 5500 Platform switches or the Cisco Nexus 5000
Platform switches, 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. All Cisco Nexus 5000

Series switches can be ordered with front to back airflow ad the Cisco Nexus 5548UP switch can
alternatively have back to front airflow, which is identified with a black stripe on the switch.

• Use the following screw torques when installing the switch:

–

Captive screws: 4 in-lb (0.45 N·m)

OL-15902-02

–

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)

–

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

Grounding the Switch

This section describes the need for system grounding for all of the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switches
and explains how to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge.

This section includes the following topics:

Proper Grounding Practices

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. Table 2-5
lists some general grounding practice guidelines.

Electromagnetic Noise

Environment

Commercial building is
subjected to direct lightning
strikes.

For example, some places in the
United States, such as Florida,
are subject to more lightning
strikes than other areas.

Commercial building is located
in an area where lightning
storms frequently occur but is
not subject to direct lightning
strikes.

Commercial building contains a
mix of information technology
equipment and industrial
equipment, such as welding.

Existing commercial building is
not subject to natural
environmental noise or
man-made industrial noise. This
building contains a standard
office environment. This
installation has a history of
malfunction due to
electromagnetic noise.

New commercial building is not
subject to natural environmental
noise or man-made industrial
noise. This building contains a
standard office environment.

Existing commercial building is
not subject to natural
environmental noise or

Severity Level Grounding Recommendations

High All lightning protection devices must be

installed in strict accordance with
manufacturer recommendations.
Conductors carrying lightning current
should be spaced away from power and
data lines in accordance with applicable
recommendations and codes. Best
grounding recommendations must be
closely followed.

High Best grounding recommendations must be

closely followed.

Medium to high Best grounding recommendations must be

closely followed.

Medium Determine source and cause of noise if

possible, and mitigate as closely as possible
at the noise source or reduce coupling from
the noise source to the affected equipment.
Best grounding recommendations must be
closely followed.

Low Electromagnetic noise problems are not

anticipated, but installing a grounding
system in a new building is often the least
expensive route and the best way to plan for
the future. Best grounding
recommendations should be followed as
closely as possible.

Low Electromagnetic noise problems are not

anticipated, but installing a grounding
system is always recommended. Best
grounding recommendations should be
followed as much as possible.

Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switches

Grounding the Switch

Send documentation comments to [e-mail].

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:

• 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

chassis from the Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform or from the Cisco Nexus 5000 Platform switches 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 the “Establishing the System Ground” section on page 2-21 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.

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:

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.

To attach the ESD wrist strap to the system ground lug screw for any of the Cisco Nexus 5500 Series
switches, clip the grounding wire to the screw that attaches the grounding lug to the switch chassis (see

Figure 2-13).

• 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 5500 Series switch or the
Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch.

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

The system 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 requirements for supplemental bonding and grounding connections. You must observe the
following system grounding guidelines for your chassis:

• You must install the system 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 ground connection and the power supply ground connection to

an earth ground. The system 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 5000 Series switches are

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. This lug supports up to 6 AWG wire. Supplied as

part of accessory kit.

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

Starting the Switch

Send documentation comments to [e-mail].

To power up the switch and verify hardware operation, follow these steps:

Step 1 Verify that empty power supply slots have filler panels installed, the faceplates of all modules are flush

with the front of the chassis, and the captive screws of the power supplies, fan module, and all expansion
modules are tight.

Step 2 Verify that the power supply and the fan modules are installed.

Note Depending on the outlet receptacle on your power distribution unit, you may need the optional

jumper power cord to connect the switch to your outlet receptacle. See the “Jumper Power Cord”

section on page C-9.

Step 3 Ensure that the switch is adequately grounded as described in the “Grounding the Switch” section on

page 2-17, and that the power cables are connected to outlets that have the required AC power voltages

(see the “Power Specifications” section on page B-3).

Step 4 For the Cisco Nexus 5020 switch and the Cisco Nexus 5010 switch, insert each end of the power clip

(from the accessory kit) into holes on tabs located on either side of the power connectors (see

Figure 2-16).

Figure 2-16 Attaching the Power Cord Clip to the Cisco Nexus 5010 Switch

1 Insert both clip ends into the tabs located on

either side of the power receptacles.

Step 5

Connect each power cable to the power connectors on the chassis and an AC power source. Press the
power cable into the power clip to endure that the power cable stays connected to the chassis when
bumped. The switch should power on as soon as you connect the power cable.

Step 6 Listen for the fans; they should begin operating when the power cable is plugged in.

Step 7 After the switch boots, verify that the LED operation is as follows:

• Fan module—Status LED is green.

• Power supply—Status LED is green.

• After initialization, the system status LED is green, indicating that all chassis environmental

monitors are reporting that the system is operational. If this LED is orange or red, then one or more
environmental monitor is reporting a problem.

• The Link LEDs for the Ethernet connector should not be on unless the cable is connected.

Note The link LEDs for the Fibre Channel ports remain yellow until the ports are enabled, and the

LED for the Ethernet connector port remains off until the port is connected.

Step 8 Try removing and reinstalling a component that is not operating correctly. If it still does not operate

correctly, contact your customer service representative for a replacement.

Note If you purchased this product through a Cisco reseller, contact the reseller directly for technical

support. If you purchased this product directly from Cisco, contact Cisco Technical Support at
this URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/support/tsd_cisco_worldwide_contacts.html.

Step 9 Verify that the system software has booted and the switch has initialized without error messages.

If any problems occur, see Appendix E, “Troubleshooting Hardware Components.” If you cannot resolve
an issue, contact your customer service representative.

Step 10 Complete the worksheets provided in Appendix G, “Site Planning and Maintenance Records” for future

reference.

Note A setup utility automatically launches the first time you access the switch and guides you through the

basic configuration. For instructions on how to configure the switch and check module connectivity, see
the appropriate Cisco Nexus 5000 Series CLI configuration guide or the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Fabric
Manager Configuration Guide.

Connecting the Switch

This chapter describes how to connect the Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform and Cisco Nexus 5000 Platform
switches to 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, we strongly recommend that

you locate power cables and other potential noise sources as far away as practical from network cabling
that terminates on Cisco equipment. In situations where long parallel cable runs cannot be separated by
at least 3.3 ft (1 m), we recommend that you shield any potential noise sources by housing them in a
grounded metallic conduit.

Preparing for Network Connections

When preparing your site for network connections to the Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform switch or Cisco
Nexus 5000 Platform 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

Note This section applies to the Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform switches and the Cisco Nexus 5000 Platform

switches.

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.

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 5000 Platform switch. The

process is identical for the Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform switch.
