Installing a Four-Post Rack or Cabinet

Before you install the switch, you must install a standard four-post, 19-inch EIA data center rack (or in a

cabinet that contains such a rack) that meets the requirements listed in the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Site

Preparation Guide. To maximize safety, you should do the following for the rack:

• Bolt the rack to the concrete subfloor before moving the Cisco Nexus 7018 chassis onto it.

Depending on the number of modules installed in the switch, you can minimize the amount of weight that

you need to move. To determine the full weight of the switch switch chassis that you are moving, see

A-6 on page A-6

Although manual torque screwdrivers are recommended, the screwdriver used (whether manual or powered),

must be able to be set for the torque settings specified in these instructions.

These tools and equipment do not ship with the chassis.

When you handle the Cisco Nexus 7018 chassis or its components, you must follow ESD protocol at all times

to prevent ESD damage. This protocol includes but is not limited to wearing an ESD wrist strap that you

connect to the earth ground.

For a list of tools required to assemble and secure the four-post rack or cabinet, see the documentation that

the manufacturer shipped with the rack or cabinet.
