Prerequisites for Attaching the Bottom-Support Rails

Before you can attach the bottom-support rails, you must fully install the rack or cabinet and use bolts
to anchor the rack to the concrete subfloor. To maximize the stability of the rack, install everything as
low as possible on the rack with heavier items below lighter items. Be sure that there is 15 RU available
for installing the Cisco Nexus 7009 chassis (14 RU) and its bottom-support rack (1 RU).

Attaching the Front-Mount 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 chassis first at the bottom of the rack. If you install a second chassis in the same rack, install
it immediately above the lower chassis if there is enough vertical space.
