Installing the Bottom-Support Rails on the Rack

The bottom-support rails hold the Cisco Nexus 7010 chassis on the rack or cabinet. To maximize the stability

of the rack, you must attach these rails at the lowest possible rack unit (RU).

The prerequisites, tools, and process for installing the bottom-support rails are included in the following topics:

Prerequisites for Attaching the Bottom-Support Rails

Before you can attach the bottom-support rails, you must fully install the rack or cabinet, and should, for

maximum stability, bolt the rack or cabinet to the concrete subfloor. If anything lighter than the Cisco Nexus

7010 system is already installed in the rack, you should make sure that it is positioned above where you will

be installing the Cisco Nexus 7010 system. Also, you must have the bottom-support rail kit, which ships with

the Cisco Nexus 7010 system accessory kit. The distance between the front and rear mounting brackets on

the rack or cabinet must be between 24 and 32 inches (60.96 and 81.28 cm) to fit the bottom-support rails.

Required Tools and Equipment

You need the following tools and equipment to attach the bottom-support rails:

• Number 1 Phillips-head screwdriver with torque capability.

• Rack-mount kit (shipped with the accessory kit).
