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.

CHAPTER
1
The Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switches are multiprotocol-capable, high-density, and high-performance
switches that incorporate Ethernet/IP, virtualization, Layer 4 to Layer 7 services, and low-latency
interconnect (LLI) technologies. The Cisco Nexus 7000 Series models are described in the following
topics:
• Cisco Nexus 7004 Switch, page 1-1
• Cisco Nexus 7009 Switch, page 1-4
• Cisco Nexus 7010 System, page 1-9
• Cisco Nexus 7018 System, page 1-15
Cisco Nexus 7004 Switch
The Cisco Nexus 7004 chassis has four slots that allow for one or two supervisor modules and up to two
I/O modules. Additionally, the chassis holds a fan tray, up to four power supplies, and cable management
frames. Optionally, you can include a door and air filter. Figure 1-1 identifies these features as seen from
the front of the chassis.

Chapter 1 Overview
Cisco Nexus 7000 Series
1 Air intake areas for up to four AC or DC power
5 Fan tray
supplies (N7K-AC-3KW or N7K-DC-3KW) or blank
filler plates in place of missing power supplies to
maintain the designed airflow
2 Cable management side frames 6 Handles used for moving the chassis (reduce the chassis
weight to less than 120 lbs (54.4 kg) in order to use these
handles to lift the chassis)
4 I/O or NAM modules (1 to 2 modules in slots 3 to 4).
7 Air intake areas for supervisor and I/O modules
These modules are a combination of the following:
• F2 Series
–
48-port 1-/10-Gigabit SFP+ with XL option
and FEX support (N7K-F248XP-25 and
N7K-F248XP-25E
–
48-port 1-/10-GBASE-T with XL option
1
)
(N7K-F248XT-25E)
• M1 Series
–
48-port 10/100/1000 with XL option
(N7K-M148GT-11L)
–
48-port 1-Gigabit Ethernet with XL option
(N7K-M148GS-11L)
–
32-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet with XL option
and FEX support (N7K-M132XP-12L)
–
8-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet with XL option
(N7K-M108X2-12L)
• M2 Series
–
24-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet with XL option
and FEX support (N7K-M224XP-23L)
–
6-port 40-Gigabit Ethernet with XL option
(N7K-M206XP-23L)
–
2-port 100-Gigabit Ethernet with XL option
(N7K-M202XP-23L)
Alternatively, one or more of these slots can be used
for Network Analysis Modules (NAMs)
(N7K-SM-NAM-K9).
4 Supervisor modules (1 or 2 modules in slots 1 and 2).
These modules are of only one of the following types
(if installing two supervisor modules, both modules
must be the same type with the same amount of
memory):
• Supervisor 2 (N7K-SUP2)
• Supervisor 2 Enhanced (N7K-SUP2E)
1. The Cisco Nexus F2-Series 48-port 1/10-Gigabit SFP+ module supports all of the standard features of F2 modules and it functions like an F2-series
module with Layer 2 and Layer 3 enabled. These modules also support IPv6 DSCP-to-Queue mapping.

cables for management and network connections. The systems that are not fully configured with the
maximum number of supervisor modules, I/O modules, or power supply units have blank panels installed
in place of the missing components to maintain the designed airflow for system cooling.
You must install the Cisco Nexus 7004 chassis in a two- or four-post 19-inch EIA rack that meets the
following specifications:
• Mounting rails that conform to the English universal hole spacing as specified in
ANSI/EIA-310-D-1992.
• The minimum vertical rack space is 12.25 inches (31.1 cm) or 7 rack units (RU) for a single chassis
installation.
Install the Cisco Nexus 7004 chassis at the lowest possible RU on the rack for stability. If there are other
devices in the rack, install the heavier chassis below the lighter chassis.
Warning
Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the rack must be bolted to the
floor before you slide the unit out for servicing. Failure to stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip
over.
Statement 1048
Cisco Nexus 7009 Switch
The Cisco Nexus 7009 chassis has 9 slots that allow for one or two supervisor modules and up to seven
I/O modules. Additionally, the chassis also holds up to five fabric modules, one fan tray, up to two power
supplies, and cable management frames. The chassis also has a front-mount bracket (an alternative
center-mount bracket can be ordered) and four positioning handles (two on each side) that you use to
position the chassis after you place it on a mechanical lift or bottom-support brackets. Optionally, you
can include a door and air intake frame.
Figure 1-2 identifies the standard features on the front and sides of the Cisco Nexus 7009 chassis, and
Figure 1-3 identifies the standard features on the rear of the chassis.
