Cisco Nexus 9408 - Unpacking and Inspecting the Chassis; Installing the Chassis in a Four-Post Rack

Unpacking and Inspecting the Chassis
When handling switch components, such as fan or power supply modules, wear a grounded ESD strap and
handle the modules by their carrier edges only. To ground the ESD strap, make sure that it is attached to an
earth ground, a grounded chassis, or a grounded rack.
Caution
Keep the shipping container in case the chassis requires shipping in the future.
Tip
The switch is thoroughly inspected before shipment. If any damage occurred during transportation or any
items are missing, contact your customer service representative immediately.
Note
To inspect the switch, follow these steps:
Step 1 Compare the shipment to the equipment list provided by your customer service representative and verify that you have
received all items.
Step 2 Check for damage and report any discrepancies or damage to your customer service representative. Have the following
information ready:
• Invoice number of shipper (see the packing slip)
• Model and serial number of the damaged unit
• Description of damage
• Effect of damage on the installation
• Photos of the damaged shipping containers and damaged product
Step 3 For dual direction airflow switches, check to be sure that all of the fan and power supply modules have the same airflow
direction.
• Port-side intake airflow direction indicated with burgundy coloring
• Port-side exhaust airflow direction indicated with blue coloring
