Ensure that the cabinet or rack meets the requirements listed in
Installation."
Jumper power cords are available for use in a cabinet. See the
page C-9.
Ensure that the chassis is adequately grounded. If the device is not mounted in a grounded rack, we
recommend connecting both the system ground on the chassis and the power supply ground to an
earth ground.
Ensure that the site power meets the power requirements listed in
Specifications," If available, you can use an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) to protect against
power failures.
Avoid UPS types that use ferroresonant technology. These UPS types can become unstable
with systems such as the Cisco Nexus FEX, which can have substantial current draw
fluctuations because of fluctuating data traffic patterns.
Ensure that circuits are sized according to local and national codes. For North America, the power
supply requires a 15-A or 20-A circuit.
To prevent loss of input power, ensure the total maximum loads on the circuits supplying
power to the device are within the current ratings for the wiring and breakers.
Use the following screw torques when installing the device:
Captive screws: 4 in-lb
–
M3 screws: 4 in-lb
–
M4 screws: 12 in-lb
–
10-32 screws: 20 in-lb
–
12-24 screws: 30 in-lb
–

3/16-inches flat-blade screwdriver
Tape measure and level
ESD wrist strap or other grounding device
Antistatic mat or antistatic foam
Grounding cable (6 AWG recommended), sized according to local and national installation
