Installing The Chassis In A Two-Post Rack - Cisco Nexus 9272Q Hardware Installation Manual

Installing the Chassis
Before you begin
• You must separately order the center-mount brackets if you are installing the chassis in a two-post rack.
• You must have the following tools and equipment:
Step 1
Align one of the two center-mount brackets on the left or right side of the chassis and be sure that the angled portion is
facing the front of the chassis (see the following figure).
Be sure to align four of the screw holes on the larger side of the bracket with the four screw holes near the center of the
left or right side of the chassis.
1 Center-mount bracket with its larger side facing the
chassis and the longer side facing the front (port side)
of the chassis. Align four screw holes in the bracket
to four screw holes in the side of the chassis.
Step 2
Use four M4 x 8 mm screws to attach the bracket to the chassis. Tighten each screw to 11 to 15 in-lb (1.2 to 1.7 N·m).
Step 3 Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to attach the second center-mount bracket to the other side of the chassis.
What to do next
You are ready to mount the chassis to the two-post rack.

Installing the Chassis in a Two-Post Rack

You need to position the chassis near the top of the rack with the power supply and fan modules in the
appropriate aisle for their required airflow. If the fan modules have a blue coloring for port-side exhaust
airflow, then you must position the modules by the cold aisle. If the fan modules have a burgundy coloring
for port-side intake airflow, you must position the modules by the hot aisle.
Note Power supply modules must have the same airflow direction as the fan modules.
These brackets do not ship with the chassis unless you specifically order them.
• Manual Phillips-head torque screwdriver
• Center-mount bracket kit
2 Four M4 x 8 mm screws used to fasten the bracket to
the chassis.
