Page 30: Grounding The Chassis
This equipment must be grounded. To reduce the risk of electric shock, never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. Cisco Nexus 93600CD-GX ACI-Mode Switch Hardware Installation Guide... -
Page 31: Starting The Switch
You start the switch by connecting it to its dedicated power source. If you need n+1 redundancy, you must connect each of the power supplies to one or two power sources. If you need n+n redundancy, you must connect each power supply in a switch to a different power source. Cisco Nexus 93600CD-GX ACI-Mode Switch Hardware Installation Guide... - Page 32 4. Place the power cable positive-wire terminal ring on the positive terminal for the power source and secure them with a terminal nut. 5. Place the power cable ground-wire terminal ring on the ground terminal for the power source and secure them with a terminal nut. Cisco Nexus 93600CD-GX ACI-Mode Switch Hardware Installation Guide...

Page 36: Preparing To Connect To Other Devices
Cisco equipment. In situations where long parallel cable runs cannot be separated by at least 3.3 feet (1 meter), we recommend that you shield any potential noise sources by housing them in a grounded metallic conduit. -
Page 37: Connecting Leaf Switches To Apics
Connecting Leaf Switches to APICs You must downlink one or two (recommended for redundancy) Cisco Nexus 9300 platform ACI-mode leaf switches to each Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) in your ACI fabric. The type of virtual interface card (VIC) installed on the APIC determines the types of interface cables that you can use to connect the leaf switches to the APICs. - Page 38 Connect the other end of the interface cable to a downlink port on a leaf switch. • For a Cisco 10GBASE-LR or -SR transceiver and cable, insert the transceiver into a downlink optical port on a leaf switch before connecting the cable to the transceiver.
-
Page 39: Connecting Leaf Switches To Spine Switches
You cannot include NX-OS line cards in the same chassis when running in ACI mode. Note Multiple uplinks from a leaf switch to a spine switch is supported. A symmetrical topology is recommended so that all devices have equal access to resources. Cisco Nexus 93600CD-GX ACI-Mode Switch Hardware Installation Guide... -

Register the new second generation switch with the Cisco APIC. Register the new node with the same node name and node ID. This switch becomes part of the fabric. The Cisco APIC pushes the policies to the new switch and keeps down the vPC legs because there is a mismatch of the generation of switches. -
