Appendix E Repacking the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switch for Shipment
Repacking the System Components
Disconnecting the System from the Network
To disconnect the system from the network, you must remove each I/O cable from the system I/O
modules.
Repacking the System Components
You should repack the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series system in the packing materials in which it was
originally shipped. To make the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series lighter and easier to move, remove its power
supply units, its external frames and doors, and, for the Cisco Nexus 7010 switch, its optional air filter
before you move the chassis. You should pack each of these components separately. To pack the chassis,
you must use a mechanical lift to move the chassis from the rack to its shipping pallet, where you can
package the chassis and the boxes for the other components previously removed.

Prerequisites for Repacking the System
You must power down and disconnect the system from the network before you begin removing the switch
from the rack or cabinet (see the “Disconnecting the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series System” section on
page E-1).
Required Tools and Equipment for Repacking the System
