• 32-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet I/O modules with FEX support (N7K-M132XP-12)
• 48-port 1-Gigabit Ethernet I/O modules (N7K-M148GS-11)
• Starting with Cisco NX-OS Release 8.0(1), the following I/O modules are not supported:
• 48-port 1-/10-Gigabit SFP+ (N7K-F248XP-25)
• 48-port 10/100/1000 with XL option (N7K-M148GT-11L)
• 48-port 1-Gigabit Ethernet with XL option (N7K-M148GS-11L)
• 32-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet with XL option and FEX support (N7K-M132XP-12L)
• 8-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet with XL option (N7K-M108X2-12L)
You must install the Cisco Nexus 7009 chassis in a two- or four-post 19-inch EIA rack that meets the following
specifications:
• Mounting rails that conform to the English universal hole spacing as specified in ANSI/EIA-310-D-1992.
• The minimum vertical rack space is 24.5 inches (62.2 cm) or 14 rack units (RU) for a single chassis
installation (15 RU if you use the bottom support rails, which are required for center-mount installations
and optional for front-mount installations).
Install the Cisco Nexus 7009 chassis at the lowest possible RU on the rack for stability. If there are other
devices in the rack, install the heaviest chassis below the lighter chassis.
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. Statement
