This section includes the following topics:

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

and the following equipment, which are not provided by Cisco:

it with two persons.
