Statement 1030
The prerequisites listed for any procedure are required conditions that you must verify before you start
that procedure. If the prerequisites have not been met, you must satisfy those requirements before
carrying out the procedure.
Safety warnings appear in this publication wherever procedures present conditions that could endanger
you or others installing this system. Adhering to these warnings and following their recommended
actions are required actions for these procedures. For regulatory compliance and safety information on
these warnings, see the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information
document.
Installation and Connection Guidelines
After you fully prepare the site as specified in the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Site Preparation Guide,
install a four-post 19-inch EIA rack, and attach two bottom-support rails, you can begin installing the
Cisco Nexus 7000 Series system. To install the system, you must load the chassis onto a mechanical lift,
use the mechanical lift to position and elevate the chassis at its bottom-support rails on a rack or cabinet,
push the chassis onto the rack or cabinet, and then secure the chassis to the rack or cabinet. With the
chassis in place, you can install the power supply units and accessories and then connect the switch to
the console and network. For detailed instructions on installing a Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switch, see
the following sections:
• Chapter 2, “Installing a Cisco Nexus 7009 Chassis”
• Chapter 3, “Installing a Cisco Nexus 7010 Chassis”
• Chapter 4, “Installing a Cisco Nexus 7018 Chassis”
• Chapter 5, “Installing Power Supply Units”
For detailed instructions on connecting the switch to the console and network, see Chapter 6,
“Connecting the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switch to the Network.”
Caution Do not use the handles on the side of the chassis to lift the chassis. Use these handles only for adjusting
the position of the chassis while the chassis rests on a platform or bottom-support rails.
If you are replacing Series 1 fabric modules with Series 2 fabric modules, you must replace all of the
Series 1 modules with Series 2 modules or the Series 2 modules will perform like Series 1 modules. If
you power up a switch with both Series 1 and Series 2 fabric modules installed, only the Series 2 modules
will power up.
If you are installing an F2 I/O module, the fabric modules installed in the switch should be only Series 2
fabric modules.
