Chapter 2 Installing a Cisco Nexus 7009 Chassis
Installing the Bottom-Support Rails on the Rack
To attach the front-mount bottom-support rails to a two- or four-post EIA rack, follow these steps:
Step 1 Position one of the two front-mount bottom-support rails at the lowest possible RU on the rack. If you
are installing a chassis above another Cisco Nexus 7009 chassis, position the rail 26.25 inches (66.7 cm)
(15 RU) above the bottom-support rails for the lower chassis as shown in Figure 2-1.
Note When installing the chassis without bottom-support rails, you can skip this step.
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.
