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
