Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco Nexus 5600 Series Switches
Required Equipment
• Use the following screw torques when installing the switch:
– Captive screws: 4 in-lb (0.45 N·m)
– 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)
– 12-24 screws: 30 in-lb (3.39 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.
