Installing a Cisco Nexus 7009 Chassis
To prevent personal injury or damage to the chassis, never attempt to lift or tilt the chassis using the handles
Warning
on modules (such as power supplies, fans, or cards); these types of handles are not designed to support the
weight of the unit. Statement 1032
Caution To lift the chassis, use a mechanical lift. Use the handles on the side of the chassis for only repositioning
the chassis after it is already on the mechanical lift or in the rack or cabinet.
Step 3 Use the mechanical lift to move and align the rear of the chassis to the front of the rack or cabinet. Make sure that the
bottom of the chassis is elevated to the height of the bottom-support rails or no more than 0.25 inch (0.635 cm) above
the bracket.
Step 4 Use at least two persons to push the chassis onto the installed bottom-support rails until the front-mount brackets come
in contact with the rack rails. Push the lower half of the front side of the chassis so that the back side enters the rack first,
and push until the chassis vertical front-mounting brackets or center-mounting brackets come in contact with the front
of the rack. (See

Step 5 Make sure that the screw holes in the chassis mounting brackets align with the screw holes in the vertical mounting rails.
To adjust the placement of the chassis so that the screw holes in the chassis mounting brackets align with the
Tip
screw holes in the vertical mounting rails, use the chassis handles shown in .
Step 6
Use a Phillips screwdriver to screw in seven to eight M6 x 19-mm or 12-24 x 3/4-inch screws in each of the two chassis
vertical mounting brackets (use a total of 12 to 14 screws for each of two mounting brackets) as shown in .
