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.

Managing the System Hardware

If you are replacing Fabric 1 modules with Fabric 2 modules (Cisco Nexus 7010 and 7018 models only), you must replace all of the Fabric 1 modules with Fabric 2 modules or the Fabric 2 modules will perform like Fabric 1 modules. If you power up a switch with both Fabric 1 and Fabric 2 modules installed, only the Fabric 2 modules will power up.

Note The Cisco NX-OS software may require 8 GB of memory, depending on the software version you use

and the software features that you enable. If your switch has Supervisor 1 modules with only 4 GB of memory, then you might need to upgrade the modules to 8 GB of memory by using the 8 GB supervisor upgrade kit (N7K-SUP1-8GBUPG=). This upgrade is not needed for switches that have at least 8 GB of memory (which includes Supervisor 1 modules with 8 GB and all Supervisor 2 and Supervisor 2E modules). To verify the amount of memory installed in the supervisor modules or to upgrade the memory, see the “Upgrading Memory for Supervisor 1 Modules” section on page 10-29.

Managing the System Hardware

After the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series system is installed and operating, you can use the Cisco NX-OS operating system to manage the system hardware. These management functions include displaying system and module information, setting the power supply modes, and managing module functions. For more information about these functions, see Chapter 8, “Managing the Switch Hardware.”

Required Tools

Chapter 2 Installing a Cisco Nexus 7004 Chassis

Before you install the Cisco Nexus 7004 chassis into a rack, make sure that you have the Cisco Nexus 7004 Accessory Kit (see the “Cisco Nexus 7004 Switch Accessory Kit” section on page C-1 for the contents list) and the following equipment, which are not provided by Cisco:

• Mechanical lift capable of lifting 150 pounds (68 kg)

Note This lift is required only if moving or lifting a fully loaded chassis that weighs at least 120

pounds (54.4 kg). If you remove the power supplies, the chassis weighs 93 pounds (42.2 kg) or less and you can manually lift it with two persons.

• Number 1 Phillips-head screwdriver with torque capability

• 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver

• Crimping tool

• Wire stripping tool

• Tape measure and level

• Grounding wire—Use a wire size that meets 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.

Note For a list of tools required to assemble and secure the two- or four-post rack or cabinet, see the

documentation that the manufacturer shipped with the rack or cabinet.

Installing a Rack or Cabinet

Before you install the Cisco Nexus 7004 chassis, you must install a standard two- or four-post, 19-inch EIA data center rack (or a cabinet that contains such a rack) that meets the requirements listed in the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Site Preparation Guide. To maximize safety, you should do the following for the rack:

• Bolt the rack to the concrete subfloor before moving the Cisco Nexus 7004 chassis onto it.

Warning

Statement 1048

• If the rack has bonded construction, connect it to the earth ground to enable you to easily ground the

system components that you install and to ground your ESD wrist strap. This step minimizes the chance of electrostatic discharge when you handle ungrounded components while working with them.

Be sure that the rack includes AC power receptacles with the amperage required for the power supplies that you will be installing in the chassis. For 3-kW power supplies, you must have 20-A circuits.

Installing the Chassis

Warning

To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:

• This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.

• When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest

component at the bottom of the rack.

• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in

the rack.

• Center-mount brackets (2) and M4 x 6 mm screws (12) if you need to center the chassis on the rack.

Statement 1006

If you are mounting the front of the chassis on to the rack (typical installation), then you do not need the center-mount brackets.

Installing the Center-Mount Brackets

Before you install a Cisco Nexus 7004 chassis, you need to determine whether you need to mount the front of the chassis or the center of the chassis to the rack. The chassis is already set up for mounting its front to the rack, but you can include center-mount brackets to position the front of the chassis 5.7 inches (14.4 cm) in front of the rack.

Note If you need to install the center-mount brackets, you must separately order the Cisco Nexus 7009 Rack

Mount Kit (part number is N7K-C7004-RMK).

To install the center-mount brackets on the chassis, follow these steps:

Step 1 Align one of two center-mount brackets so that its six screw holes align to six screw holes on the side of

the chassis as shown in Figure 2-1.

Step 2

Use a Phillips-head screw driver to secure the bracket to the chassis with the six M4 x 6 mm screws. Tighten each screw to 11.5 to 15 in-lbs (1.3 to 1.7 N·m).

Step 3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 to install the other center-mount bracket on the other side of the chassis.

Installing the Chassis in a Rack

Before you install the chassis in the rack, you must determine how you are going to lift the chassis to its position on the rack. You can either lift the chassis with a mechanical lift and slide it on top of another installed Cisco Nexus 7004 chassis, or you can lighten the chassis and lift it manually into position with a couple of people. To lighten the chassis for lifting, you can remove the power supplies so that the chassis weighs no more than 93 pounds (42 kg) and can be lifted by two people.

After lifting the chassis into position, you fasten it to the rack, and replace any power supplies that you might have removed earlier.

To install a Cisco Nexus 7004 chassis in a two- or four-post rack or cabinet, follow these steps:

Step 1 Prepare the chassis for moving by doing one of the following:

Warning

Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Hardware Installation and Reference Guide

To prevent personal injury or damage to the chassis, never attempt to lift or tilt the chassis using the handles on modules (such as power supplies, fans, or cards); these types of handles are not designed to support the weight of the unit.

2-6

Statement 1032

OL-23069-07

Page 55

Chapter 2 Installing a Cisco Nexus 7004 Chassis

Caution To move the chassis, either use the chassis handles (one found on each side) or push on the sides or edges

of the chassis without touching any of the modules or module handles.

• To move the chassis with a mechanical lift, position the lift at the elevation of the chassis on its

shipping pallet (or no more than 0.25 inches [0.64 cm] below the level of the pallet) and use two persons to push the chassis fully onto the lift.

• To move the chassis manually, remove the power supplies as explained in one of the following

sections and then use two persons to lift the chassis:

–

To remove an AC power supply, see the “Removing a 3-kW AC Power Supply Unit During

Operations” section on page 10-3.

–

To remove a DC power supply, see the “Removing a 3-kW DC Power Supply Unit During

Operations” section on page 10-9.

Note We do not recommend that you remove any of the supervisor modules, I/O modules, or the fan

tray to make the chassis easier to lift because that removal can put those modules at risk of being damaged. If you do remove any of those modules, be sure to have antistatic pads or antistatic bags to hold these modules until you are ready to reinstall them in the chassis.

Installing the Chassis

Step 2 Lift the chassis to its position on a rack in one of the following ways:

• If you use a mechanical lift, position the chassis next to the front of another Cisco Nexus 7004

chassis already installed in the rack, elevate the new chassis to the level of the installed chassis (or no more than 0.25 inches [0.64 cm] above the installed chassis, use two persons to align the back side of the new chassis to the opening between the two front posts of the rack and push the chassis into the installed chassis until the chassis mounting brackets come in contact with the rack mounting rails.

• If you are lifting the chassis manually, use two or more persons to move the back end of the chassis

through the front posts until the chassis mounting brackets come in contact with the mounting rails on the rack, lift the chassis to the lowest possible RU for it on the rack, and align the screw holes in the chassis mounting brackets to the rack mounting rails.

Caution Use two persons to lift the chassis by using the handle on each side of the chassis. Do not use the handles

on any of the modules installed on the chassis to lift or move the chassis—these handles are for only removing or installing the modules.

Step 3 Use five M6 x 19 mm screws (or 12-24 x 3/4 inch screws) to fasten each side of the chassis to the rack.

Tighten each of the 10 screws to 40 in. lbs (4.5 N.m) (see Figure 2-2).

Grounding the Cisco Nexus 7004 Chassis

The Cisco Nexus 7004 switch is fully grounded as soon as you connect the chassis and the power supplies to the earth ground in the following ways:

• You connect the chassis to either a grounded and fully bonded rack or to the data center ground. This

ground connection is active even when the power supplies are not installed.

Note 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 connect the AC power supplies to the earth ground automatically when you connect an AC

power supply to an AC power source.

• You connect the DC power supplies to the earth ground before connecting the power supplies to the

DC power source (see the “Connecting a DC Power Supply Directly to DC Power Sources” section

on page 6-10).

This section includes the following topics:

Grounding the Cisco Nexus 7004 Chassis

• Prerequisites for Grounding the Chassis, page 2-9

• Connecting the System Ground, page 2-9

• Connecting Your ESD Wrist Strap to the Chassis, page 2-11

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 7004 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 port to the rack. Otherwise, you must connect the chassis grounding port directly to the data center ground.

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 2-3.

Chapter 2 Installing a Cisco Nexus 7004 Chassis

To install storage media in a supervisor module, follow these steps:

Step 1 Insert the USB drive in the LOG FLASH or SLOT0 port. Step 2 Wait for the reader or port LED to turn green and for a message to appear on the console as follows:

• If you are installing a USB drive into the log flash reader, the message will end with

“logflash:online.”

• If you are installing a USB drive into the expansion flash reader, the message will end with

“slot0:online.”

• If you see an “offline” message or do not see a message, either the USB drive is not fully inserted

or it is improperly formatted.

Make sure that the USB drive is fully inserted inside the reader. If it is fully inserted, either format the card (see the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Fundamentals Configuration Guide) or replace the USB drive with another that is properly formatted for the reader.

Installing the Air Filter

The Cisco Nexus 7004 air filter is an optional feature (part number N7K-C7004-FAN=). To install an air filter, follow these steps:

Step 1 Place the air filter over the air intake area on the right side of the chassis and align the eight screw holes

in the filter to screw holes in the chassis.

Step 2 Fasten the air filter to the chassis using eight M3 x 5 mm screws that came with the air filter.. Tighten

the screws to 5 to 7 in-lb (0.56 to 0.79 N.m).

Required Tools

Note These tools and equipment do not ship with the chassis.

Chapter 3 Installing a Cisco Nexus 7009 Chassis

Before you install the Cisco Nexus 7009 chassis into a rack, make sure that you have the following tools and equipment:

• Mechanical lift capable of lifting 300 pounds (136 kg)

• Number 1 Phillips screwdriver with torque capability

• 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver

• Crimping tool

• Wire stripping tool

• Tape measure and level

• Grounding cable

Additional tools and equipment, such as an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap, that you will also need to install the Cisco Nexus 7009 chassis, are included in the Cisco Nexus 7009 accessory kit. To see what is included in the accessory kit, see the “Cisco Nexus 7009 Switch Accessory and Optional Kits”

section on page C-3.

Caution When you handle the Cisco Nexus 7009 chassis or its components, you must follow ESD protocol at all

times to prevent ESD damage. This protocol includes but is not limited to wearing an ESD wrist strap that you connect to the earth ground.

Note For a list of tools required to assemble and secure the rack or cabinet, see the documentation that the

manufacturer shipped with the rack or cabinet.

Installing a Rack or Cabinet

Before you install the Cisco Nexus 7009 chassis, you must install a qualified two- or four-post, 19-inch EIA data center rack (or a cabinet that contains such a rack) that meets the requirements listed in the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Site Preparation Guide. To maximize safety, you should do the following for the rack:

• Bolt the rack to the concrete subfloor before moving the Cisco Nexus 7009 chassis onto it.

Warning

Statement 1048

• If the rack has bonded construction, connect it to the earth ground to enable you to easily ground the

system components that you install and to ground your ESD wrist strap. This step minimizes the chance of electrostatic discharge when you handle ungrounded components before you install them.

If you are using AC power, be sure that the rack includes AC power receptacles with the amperage required for the power supply units that you will be installing in the chassis. If you are installing 6-kW power supply units, you must have 20-A circuits. If you are installing 7.5-kW power supply units, you must have 30-A circuits.

If you are using DC power, be sure that the DC power supply is grounded and that there is direct access to the facility DC power or indirect access though a power interface unit (PIU). You must connect the DC power supply to the earth ground before connecting it to the facility DC power.

Preparing to Install the Switch

Warning

Take care when connecting units to the supply circuit so that wiring is not overloaded.

For instructions on setting up the rack, see the documentation that the manufacturer shipped with the rack.

Unpacking and Inspecting a New Switch

Before you install a new Cisco Nexus 7009 chassis, you need to unpack and inspect it to be sure that you have all the items that you ordered and verify that the switch was not damaged during shipment. If anything is damaged or missing, contact your customer representative immediately.

Tip Do not discard the shipping container when you unpack the Cisco Nexus 7009 system. Flatten the

shipping cartons and store them with the pallet used for the system. If you need to move or ship the system in the future, you will need these containers.

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 of the ordered items. The shipment should include boxes for the following:

• System chassis, which includes the following installed components:

–

2 supervisor modules

–

1 to 7 I/O modules

–

3 to 5 fabric modules

Statement 1018

–

1 fan tray

• 1 to 2 power supply units

The power supply units are shipped with the chassis but are boxed separately.

• Cisco Nexus 7009 system accessory kit

representative by e-mail:

• Invoice number of the shipper (see the packing slip)

• Model and serial number of the missing or damaged unit

• Description of the problem and how it affects the installation

Installing the Bottom-Support Rails on the Rack

You can use the following two types of bottom-support rails to install and hold a Cisco Nexus 7009 chassis to its rack:

• Front-mount bottom-support rails

• Center-mount bottom-support rails (part number N7K-C7009-CMK)

Typically, you use the two front-mount bottom-support rails in the Bottom Support Kit (part of the Cisco Nexus 7009 Accessory Kit or ordered separately as part number N7K-C7009-BSK). If you additionally ordered the Center Mount Kit (part number N7K-C7009-CMK) for centering the chassis on a two-post rack, you will receive an additional kit with two center-mount bottom support rails and two center-mount rail mounting brackets. You must install either the front-mount bottom-support rails or the center-mount bottom-support rails before installing the chassis.

Note If you are installing three Cisco Nexus 7009 chassis with front-mount brackets in a 42-RU rack and you

can safely position the bottom chassis at the lowest RU using a mechanical lift, you can fasten the chassis directly to the rack or cabinet with the maximum number of screws. After you install the bottom chassis, you can slide the additional chassis onto the fully installed lower chassis (without using additional bottom-support rails) and then fasten the upper chassis to the rack. This process enables you to install three 14-RU Cisco Nexus 7009 chassis in a 42-RU rack. If you do not need to install three chassis in a 42 RU rack, we recommend that you always install each chassis on its own set of bottom-support rails.

Note When you install a Cisco Nexus 7009 chassis with center-mount brackets, you must always install the

chassis onto center-mount bottom-support rails.

Caution Do not remove the center-mount brackets when a chassis is installed on them. They are required at all

times for holding a center-mount chassis to the rack.

The prerequisites, tools, and process for installing the bottom-support rails are included in the following topics:

• Attaching the Center-Mount Bottom-Support Rails, page 3-8

Prerequisites for Attaching the Bottom-Support Rails

Before you can attach the bottom-support rails, you must fully install the rack or cabinet and use bolts to anchor the rack to the concrete subfloor. To maximize the stability of the rack, install everything as low as possible on the rack with heavier items below lighter items. Be sure that there is 15 RU available for installing the Cisco Nexus 7009 chassis (14 RU) and its bottom-support rack (1 RU).

Required Tools and Equipment

You need the following tools and equipment to attach the bottom-support rails:

• Number 1 Phillips-head screwdriver with torque capability.

Grounding the Cisco Nexus 7009 Chassis

If you are using AC power supply units, the Cisco Nexus 7009 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.

If you are using DC power supply units, you must connect each DC power supply unit to the earth ground before connecting the DC power source to the DC power supply units. You also connect the chassis to the NEBS ground for EMI shielding requirements and for the low-voltage supplies on the modules.

This section includes the following topics:

• Prerequisites for Grounding the Chassis, page 3-20

• Required Tools and Equipment, page 3-20

• Connecting the System Ground, page 3-20

• Connecting Your ESD Wrist Strap to the Chassis, page 3-23

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 7009 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 7009 system accessory kit.

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

Cisco Nexus 7009 accessory kit.

Chapter 3 Installing a Cisco Nexus 7009 Chassis

• Grounding wire—Not supplied with the Cisco Nexus 7009 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.

• Number 1 Phillips-head screwdriver with torque capability.

• 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

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

Tip Whenever you need to open the door, pull one of the door handles open until it clicks and then swing

that side of the door open.

Installing Storage Media in a Supervisor Module

Each supervisor module on a Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switch is shipped with a CompactFlash card installed in the LOG FLASH reader (Supervisor 1 modules) or a USB drive installed in the LOG FLASH reader (Supervisor 2 and Supervisor 2E modules). The EXPANSION FLASH reader (Supervisor 1) or Slot0 port (Supervisor 2 and 2E) is left empty, but you can optionally install a card in that reader or a USB drive in the USB port. To allow this storage media to function with the reader or port, 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 or Slot0 readers require different formats for their storage

media.

To replace an installed CompactFlash card, see the “Replacing Storage Media for a Supervisor Module”

section on page 10-59.

To install storage media in a supervisor module, follow these steps:

Step 1 Align the storage media to its slot or port on the supervisor module as follows:

• For a Supervisor 1 module, align the card with the slot for the CompactFlash reader slot labeled

LOG FLASH or EXPANSION FLASH as shown in Figure 3-26. The grooves on the thin side of the card are on the end of the card that goes into the reader first. If the card does not fit easily into the reader, flip the card so that the bottom edge is on top, and try pushing the card into the reader.

•

For a Supervisor 2 or 2E module, insert the USB drive in the LOG FLASH or SLOT0 port.

Step 2 Wait for the reader or port LED to turn green and for a message to appear on the console as follows:

• If you are installing a card or USB drive into the log flash reader, the message will end with

“logflash:online.”

• If you are installing a card or USB drive into the expansion flash reader, the message will end with

“slot0:online.”

• If you see an “offline” message or do not see a message, either the card or USB drive is not fully

inserted or it is improperly formatted.

Make sure that the card or USB drive is fully inserted inside the reader. If it is fully inserted, either format the card (see the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Fundamentals Configuration Guide) or replace the storage media with another that is properly formatted for the reader.

Required Tools

Note These tools and equipment do not ship with the chassis.

Chapter 4 Installing a Cisco Nexus 7010 Chassis

Before you install the Cisco Nexus 7010 chassis into a rack, make sure that you have the following tools and equipment:

• Mechanical lift capable of lifting 550 pounds (250 kg)

• Number 1 Phillips screwdriver with torque capability

• 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver

• Crimping tool

• Wire stripping tool

• Tape measure and level

• Grounding cable

Additional tools and equipment, such as an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap, that you will also need to install the Cisco Nexus 7010 chassis, are included in the Cisco Nexus 7010 accessory kit.

Caution When you handle the Cisco Nexus 7010 chassis or its components, you must follow ESD protocol at all

times to prevent ESD damage. This protocol includes but is not limited to wearing an ESD wrist strap that you connect to the earth ground.

Note For a list of tools required to assemble and secure the four-post rack or cabinet, see the documentation

that the manufacturer shipped with the rack or cabinet.

Installing a Four-Post Rack or Cabinet

Before you install the Cisco Nexus 7010 chassis, you must install a standard four-post, 19-inch EIA data center rack (or a cabinet that contains such a rack) that meets the requirements listed in the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Site Preparation Guide. To maximize safety, you should do the following for the rack:

• Bolt the rack to the concrete subfloor before moving the Cisco Nexus 7010 chassis onto it.

Warning

Statement 1048

• If the rack has bonded construction, connect it to the earth ground to enable you to easily ground the

system components that you install and to ground your ESD wrist strap. This step minimizes the chance of electrostatic discharge when you handle ungrounded components before you install them.

Be sure that the rack includes AC power receptacles with the amperage required for the power supply units that you will be installing in the chassis. If you are installing 6-kW power supply units, you must have 20-A circuits. If you are installing 7.5-kW power supply units, you must have 30-A circuits.
