Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Hardware Installation and Reference Guide
OL-23069-06
Chapter 1 Overview
Cisco Nexus 7000 Series
Note
and
show the Cisco Nexus 7018 chassis as it appears when it is fully configured
before including cables for connections to the Internet and the console. The systems that are not fully
configured with the maximum number of supervisor modules, I/O modules, fabric modules, or power
supply units have blank panels installed in place of the missing components to maintain the designed
airflow for system cooling.
You must install the Cisco Nexus 7018 chassis in a 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 43.75 inches (111.1 cm) or 25 rack units (RU) for a single
chassis installation and 87.5 inches (222.2 cm).
Install the Cisco Nexus 7018 chassis at the lowest possible RU on the rack for stability, as shown in
. If there is another device in the rack, install the heaviest one at the bottom.
Warning
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.
