Preparing to Install the Switch

7004 chassis. Make sure that you order the rack or cabinet and have it delivered before installing the chassis.
Note
Required Tools
Before you install the Cisco Nexus 7004 chassis into a rack, make sure that you have the Cisco Nexus 7004
Accessory Kit (see the “Cisco Nexus 7004 Switch Accessory Kit” section on page C-1 for the contents list)
and the following equipment, which are not provided by Cisco:
• Mechanical lift capable of lifting 150 pounds (68 kg)
This lift is required only if moving or lifting a fully loaded chassis that weighs at least 120 pounds (54.4 kg).
If you remove the power supplies, the chassis weighs 93 pounds (42.2 kg) or less and you can manually lift
it with two persons.
