• Tape measure and level
• Grounding cable
These tools and equipment do not ship with the chassis.
Note
Additional tools and equipment, such as an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap, that you will also need
to install the Cisco Nexus 7010 chassis, are included in the Cisco Nexus 7010 accessory kit.
When you handle the Cisco Nexus 7010 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.
Caution
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.
Note
Installing a Four-Post Rack or Cabinet
Before you install the Cisco Nexus 7010 chassis, you must install a standard four-post, 19-inch EIA data
center rack (or 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 7010 chassis onto it.
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. Statement
1048
Warning
• If the rack has bonded construction, connect it to the earth ground to enable you to easily ground the
system components that you install and to ground your ESD wrist strap. This step minimizes the chance
of electrostatic discharge when you handle ungrounded components before you install them.
Be sure that the rack includes AC power receptacles with the amperage required for the power supply units
that you will be installing in the chassis. If you are installing 6-kW power supply units, you must have 20-A
circuits. If you are installing 7.5-kW power supply units, you must have 30-A circuits.
Take care when connecting units to the supply circuit so that wiring is not overloaded. Statement 1018
Warning
For instructions on setting up the rack, see the documentation that the manufacturer shipped with the rack.

Installing the Bottom-Support Rails on the Rack
The bottom-support rails hold the Cisco Nexus 7010 chassis on the rack or cabinet. To maximize the stability
of the rack, you must attach these rails at the lowest possible rack unit (RU).
The prerequisites, tools, and process for installing the bottom-support rails are included in the following topics:
Prerequisites for Attaching the Bottom-Support Rails
Before you can attach the bottom-support rails, you must fully install the rack or cabinet, and should, for
maximum stability, bolt the rack or cabinet to the concrete subfloor. If anything lighter than the Cisco Nexus
7010 system is already installed in the rack, you should make sure that it is positioned above where you will
be installing the Cisco Nexus 7010 system. Also, you must have the bottom-support rail kit, which ships with
the Cisco Nexus 7010 system accessory kit. The distance between the front and rear mounting brackets on
the rack or cabinet must be between 24 and 32 inches (60.96 and 81.28 cm) to fit the bottom-support rails.
Required Tools and Equipment
You need the following tools and equipment to attach the bottom-support rails:
• Number 1 Phillips-head screwdriver with torque capability.
• Rack-mount kit (shipped with the accessory kit). Table 1: Contents for the Rack-Mount Kit, on page 4

Attaching the Bottom-Support Rails
To maximize the stability of the rack, you should install the chassis as low as possible on the rack. Install the
heaviest system first at the bottom of the rack. If you install a second system in the same rack, install it
immediately above the lower system if there is enough vertical space.
To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions
to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:
• This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
• When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the
heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the
unit in the rack. Statement 1006
To attach the bottom-support rails to a four-post EIA rack, follow these steps:
Step 1 Position one of the two adjustable bottom-support rails at the lowest possible RU. If you are installing a chassis above
another Cisco Nexus 7010 chassis, position the rail 36.75 inches (93.4 cm) (21 RU) above the bottom-support rails for
the lower chassis as shown in Figure 1: Positioning the Bottom-Support Rails, on page 6. Adjust the length of the rail
so that it stretches from the outer edges of the front and rear vertical mounting rails. You can expand the rail so that its
mounting brackets are spaced between 24 to 32 inches (60.96 to 81.28 cm).

Note
Installing the Chassis
To install a Cisco Nexus 7010 chassis in a four-post rack or cabinet, follow these steps:
SUMMARY STEPS
1. Load the chassis onto a mechanical lift as follows:
2. Use the mechanical lift to move and align the rear of the chassis to the front of the four-post rack or
cabinet. Make sure that the bottom of the chassis is elevated to the height of the bottom-support rails or
no more than 1/4 inch (0.635 cm) above the bracket.
3. Use at least four persons to push the chassis onto the installed bottom-support rails as shown in Figure 3:
Moving a Cisco Nexus 7010 Chassis onto a Rack, on page 10.
4. Make sure that the screw holes in the chassis mounting brackets align with the screw holes in the vertical
mounting rails.
5. Use a Phillips screwdriver to screw in four M6 x 19-mm or 12-24 x 3/4-inch screws in each of the two
chassis mounting brackets (use a total of eight screws for two mounting brackets) as shown in Figure 4:
Attaching the Cisco Nexus 7010 Chassis to the Rack, on page 11.
DETAILED STEPS
Step 1 Load the chassis onto a mechanical lift as follows:
a) Position the mechanical lift next to the shipping pallet that holds the chassis.
b) Elevate the lift platform to the level of the bottom of the chassis (or no more than 1/4 inch [0.635 cm] below the
bottom of the chassis).
c) Use at least four persons to slide the chassis fully onto the lift so that the side of the chassis touches or is close to the
vertical rails on the lift. Make sure that the front and rear of the chassis are unobstructed so you can easily push the
chassis into the rack.
To prevent personal injury or damage to the chassis, never attempt to lift or tilt the chassis using the handles
on modules (such as power supplies, fans, or cards); these types of handles are not designed to support the
weight of the unit. Statement 1032
Warning
To lift the chassis, use a mechanical lift, not the handles on the side of the chassis (the handles are not rated
for lifting over 200 pounds [91 kg]). Use the side handles for only repositioning the chassis after it is already
on the mechanical lift or in the rack or cabinet.
Caution
Step 2 Use the mechanical lift to move and align the rear of the chassis to the front of the four-post rack or cabinet. Make sure
that the bottom of the chassis is elevated to the height of the bottom-support rails or no more than 1/4 inch (0.635 cm)
above the bracket.
Step 3 Use at least four persons to push the chassis onto the installed bottom-support rails as shown in Figure 3: Moving a Cisco
Nexus 7010 Chassis onto a Rack, on page 10.

Grounding the Cisco Nexus 7010 Chassis
The Cisco Nexus 7010 system is grounded through the AC power supply cables and one of two grounding
connections on the chassis. The AC power supply cables provide a connection to an earth ground whenever
you connect the AC power to the system. The system ground, also referred to as the network equipment
building system (NEBS) ground, provides additional grounding for EMI shielding requirements and for the
low-voltage supplies (DC-DC converters) on the modules. This grounding system is active even when the
AC power cables are not connected to the system. You establish this ground by connecting one of the two
grounding pads on the chassis to the rack (if it is connected to an earth ground) or directly to the earth ground
for the data center building.
This section includes the following topics:
Prerequisites for Grounding the Chassis
Before you can ground the chassis, you must have a connection to the earth ground for the data center building.
If you installed the Cisco Nexus 7010 chassis into a bonded rack (see the rack manufacturer’s instructions for
more information) that now has a connection to the data center earth ground, you can ground the chassis by
Installing a Cisco Nexus 7010 Chassis
11
Installing a Cisco Nexus 7010 Chassis
Grounding the Cisco Nexus 7010 Chassis

connecting its grounding ports to the rack. Otherwise, you must connect the chassis grounding ports directly
to the data center ground.
Required Tools and Equipment
To connect the system ground, you need the following tools and materials:
• Grounding lug—A two-holed standard barrel lug that supports up to 6 AWG wire. This lug is supplied
with the Cisco Nexus 7010 system accessory kit.
• Grounding screws—Two M4 x 8 mm (metric) pan-head screws. These screws are shipped with the Cisco
Nexus 7010 accessory kit.
• Grounding wire—Not supplied with the Cisco Nexus 7010 system accessory kit. This wire should be
sized to meet local and national installation requirements. Depending on the power supply and system,
a 12 AWG to 6 AWG copper conductor is required for U.S. installations. We recommend that you use
commercially available 6 AWG wire. The length of the grounding wire depends on the proximity of the
switch to proper grounding facilities.
• Number 1 Phillips-head screwdriver with torque capability.
• Crimping tool to crimp the grounding wire to the grounding lug.
• Wire-stripping tool to remove the insulation from the grounding wire.
Connecting the System Ground
After you have moved the chassis into the rack or cabinet, you are ready to connect the system to the data
center earth ground. After you ground the chassis, you can ground your ESD wrist strap by connecting it to
the chassis.
To connect the system ground to the data center earth ground, follow these steps:
Step 1 Use a wire-stripping tool to remove approximately 0.75 inch (19 mm) of the covering from the end of the grounding
wire.
Step 2 Insert the stripped end of the grounding wire into the open end of the grounding lug as shown in Figure 5: Inserting the
Grounding Wire in the Grounding Lug, on page 12.
Figure 5: Inserting the Grounding Wire in the Grounding Lug
Grounding cable with 0.75 in. (19 mm) of insulation stripped from the end2NRTL listed 45-degree grounding lug1
Step 3 Use the crimping tool to crimp the lug to the grounding wire. Verify that the ground wire is securely attached to the
ground lug by attempting to pull the wire out of the crimped lug.

Step 5 Prepare the other end of the grounding wire and connect it to an appropriate grounding point in your site to ensure an
adequate earth ground for the switch. If the rack is grounded, connect the grounding wire as explained in the documentation
provided by the vendor for the rack.
Connecting Your ESD Wrist Strap to the Chassis
After you connect the chassis to the data center earth ground, you can ground your ESD wrist strap by plugging
it into any one of three ESD ports shown in Figure 8: ESD Grounding Ports on the Front of the Cisco Nexus
7010 Chassis, on page 15 (front of the chassis) or Figure 9: ESD Grounding Port on the Rear of the Cisco

Installing Storage Media in a Supervisor Module
Each supervisor module on a Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switch is shipped with a CompactFlash card installed
in the LOG FLASH reader (Supervisor 1 modules) or a USB drive installed in the LOG FLASH reader
(Supervisor 2 and Supervisor 2E modules). The EXPANSION FLASH reader (Supervisor 1) or Slot0 port
(Supervisor 2 and 2E) is left empty, but you can optionally install a card in that reader or a USB drive in the
USB port. To allow this storage media to function with the reader or port, you must make sure that it is either
formatted for the reader before installing it or format it after installing it.
The LOG FLASH and EXPANSION FLASH or Slot0 readers require different formats for their storage media.
Note
To replace an installed CompactFlash card, see the “Replacing Storage Media for a Supervisor Module”
section on page 10-61 .
