Cisco Nexus 7000 - Installing the Chassis on a Four-Post Rack or Cabinet

The alignment bracket on top of the power supply should align to a track at the top of the slot and a bar at
the bottom of the power supply should be guided by a track at the bottom of the slot.
Note
d) Slide the power supply all the way into the slot until its release handle clicks and the module stops.
Installing the Chassis on a Four-Post Rack or Cabinet
Before you begin
• Verify that the chassis shipment is complete and undamaged.
• Verify that a rack or cabinet is installed and secured to the subfloor.
Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the rack
must be bolted to the floor before you slide the unit out for servicing. Failure to
stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over.
Warning
• Verify that there is 3 RU (5.25 inches [13.3 cm]) of space above the rails to install the chassis.
• If there are other devices in the rack, verify that the devices that are heavier than this chassis are installed
below where you are going to install the chassis and lighter devices are installed above where you are
going to install the chassis.
• Verify that the data center ground is accessible where you are installing the chassis.
Fully loaded, the chassis can weigh up to 81.7 lb (37.05 kg). You can lighten the chassis for easier moving
by removing a power supply. To determine the full weight of the chassis and the appropriate weight rating
for the mechanical lift, see Weights and Quantities for the Chassis, Modules, Fan Trays, and Power Supplies.
Note
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.
Warning
Step 1 If you need to make the chassis as light as possible for moving, you can optionally remove the fan tray and power supplies.
