Mount Chassis Into The Rack - Cisco Nexus 9804 NX-OS Hardware Installation Manual

Unpack and Install the Chassis
What to do next
After moving the chassis to the room or area where you will install it, begin the procedure to mount the chassis
into the rack.

Mount Chassis Into the Rack

To accommodate equipment racks with different mounting hole patterns, the chassis mounting brackets have
groups of screw holes on either side. The mounting holes in the chassis mounting brackets are spaced so that
one mounting hole in each hole group aligns with a corresponding hole in the equipment rack. By using the
corresponding mounting hole (in the same hole group) on the opposite side of the chassis, you can level the
chassis in the rack.
Note
Step 1 Using your mechanical lift, raise the chassis so that it is in level with or not more than 1/4 inch [0.635cm] above the rails.
Step 2
Push the chassis all the way onto the rack so that the vertical mounting brackets on the front of the chassis come in contact
with the vertical mounting rails on the rack.
Step 3
Use screws provided with the rack to secure the chassis with the vertical mounting rails on the rack.
Note You should remove the power shelf to facilitate attaching chassis to the rack.
Step 4
Use the screws provided with the rack to attach the chassis rear rails.

To lift the chassis, use a mechanical lift. Do not use the handles on the side of the chassis. Use the side handles
for only repositioning the chassis after it is already on the mechanical lift or in the rack or cabinet.
