Installation Options with Rack-Mount Kits
The rack-mount kit enables you to install the switch into racks of varying depths. You can position the switch
with easy access to either the port connections or the fan and power supply modules.
You can install the switch using the following rack-mount options:
• Rack-mount kit (N9K-C9300-RMK) which you can order from Cisco.
For four post racks.
The rack or cabinet that you use must meet the requirements listed the in General Requirements for Cabinets
and Racks, on page 39 section.
You are responsible for verifying that your rack and rack-mount hardware comply with the guidelines that
are described in this doc.
Note
Install a Rack
Before you install the switch, you must install a standard four-post, 19-inch EIA data center rack (or a cabinet
that contains such a rack) that meets the requirements listed in Overview of Racks, on page 39.
Step 1 Bolt the rack to the concrete subfloor before moving the chassis onto it.
