• Number 1 and number 2 Phillips screwdrivers with torque capability
• 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver
• Tape measure and level
• ESD wrist strap or other grounding device
• Antistatic mat or antistatic foam
The following additional items (not found in the accessory kit) are required to ground the chassis:
• Grounding cable (6 AWG recommended), sized according to local and national installation requirements;
the required length depends on the proximity of the Cisco UCS 6200 Series Fabric Interconnect to proper
grounding facilities
• Crimping tool large enough to accommodate girth of lug
• Wire-stripping tool
Cabinet and Rack Requirements
This section provides the requirements for the following types of cabinets and racks, assuming an external
ambient air temperature range of 0 to 104°F (0 to 40°C):
• Standard perforated cabinets (60 percent or greater perforation front and back is required, the Cisco
R Series rack is an ideal choice)
• Standard open racks
If you are selecting an enclosed cabinet, we recommend one of the thermally validated types: standard perforated
or solid-walled with a fan tray.
Note
Do not use racks that have obstructions (such as power strips), because the obstructions could impair access
to field-replaceable units (FRUs). The Cisco RP series PDUs when mounted in a Cisco R Series Rack should
not obstruct FRU replacement.
Note
