Attaching Front-Mount Brackets To The Chassis - Cisco Nexus 9396PX Hardware Installation Manual

Installing the Chassis
Step 2
Separate the two sliders that make up one bottom-support rail and position the half with the chassis stop by the appropriate
aisle for the fan and power supply modules. Also make sure that there is at least 2 rack units open above the bottom-support
rails so that you can easily install the chassis.
Step 3
Use two customer-supplied screws (typically M6 x 10 mm screws) to attach the bottom-support rail half to the vertical
mounting rails on the rack post. Tighten each screw to the appropriate torque setting for the screws (for M6 x 10 mm
screws, use 40 in. lbs [4.5 N·m] of torque).
Step 4
Slide the other half of the bottom-support rail onto the attached half of the rail set and use two customer supplied screws
(typically M6 x 10 mm screws) to secure that portion to the vertical mounting rails on the rack. Tighten each screw to
the appropriate torque setting for the screws (for M6 x 10 mm screws, use 40 in. lbs [4.5 N·m] of torque).
Step 5 Repeat Steps 2 and 3 to attach the other expanding bottom-support rails to the other side of the rack.
Check the two installed bottom support rails to be sure that both have their chassis stops by the same aisle (either
Note
both by the hot aisle or both by the cold aisle) and that both rails are level and level with each other. If they are
not level, adjust the higher rail down to the level of the lower rail.
What to Do Next
You are ready to install two front-mount brackets on the chassis.

Attaching Front-Mount Brackets to the Chassis

You need to attach a right-angled bracket to each side of the chassis. This bracket holds the chassis in place
on a four-post rack.
Before You Begin
• You must have the following tools and equipment:
Step 1 Align the two holes in one side of one of two front-mount brackets to two holes on the left or right side of the chassis
(see the following figure).
Be sure that the other side of the bracket is facing toward the front (port end) of the chassis.
◦ Manual Phillips-head torque screwdriver
◦ Front-mount brackets (2) and screws (4) (found inside the switch accessory kit)
