Chapter 3 Installing a Cisco Nexus 7010 Chassis
Installing the Bottom-Support Rails on the Rack
The prerequisites, tools, and process for installing the bottom-support rails are included in the following
topics:
• Prerequisites for Attaching the Bottom-Support Rails, page 3-4
• Required Tools and Equipment, page 3-4
• Attaching the Bottom-Support Rails, page 3-4
Prerequisites for Attaching the Bottom-Support Rails
Before you can attach the bottom-support rails, you must fully install the rack or cabinet, and should, for
maximum stability, bolt the rack or cabinet to the concrete subfloor. If anything lighter than the Cisco
Nexus 7010 system is already installed in the rack, you should make sure that it is positioned above
where you will be installing the Cisco Nexus 7010 system. Also, you must have the bottom-support rail
kit, which ships with the Cisco Nexus 7010 system accessory kit. The distance between the front and
rear mounting brackets on the rack or cabinet must be between 24 and 32 inches (60.96 and 81.28 cm)
to fit the bottom-support rails.
Required Tools and Equipment
You need the following tools and equipment to attach the bottom-support rails:
• Number 1 Phillips screwdriver.
• Rack-mount kit (shipped with the accessory kit). Table 3-1 lists the items in the rack-mount kit.
Attaching the Bottom-Support Rails
To maximize the stability of the rack, you should install the chassis as low as possible on the rack. Install
the heaviest system first at the bottom of the rack. If you install a second system in the same rack, install
it immediately above the lower system if there is enough vertical space.
