Installing the Bottom-Support Rails on the Rack

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

7018 system is already installed in the rack, you should make sure that it is positioned above where you will

be installing the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series system. Also, you must have the bottom-support rail kit, which

ships with the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series accessory kit. The distance between the front and rear mounting

brackets on the rack or cabinet must be between 24 and 32 inches (61.0 and 81.3 cm).
