Installing the Switch Using the N3K-C3064-ACC-KIT Rack-Mount
Kit
To install the switch, you must attach front and rear mounting brackets to the switch, install slider rails on the
rear of the rack, slide the switch onto the slider rails, and secure the switch to the front of the rack. Typically,
the front of the rack is the side easiest to access for maintenance.
Note
Before you begin
• You have inspected the switch shipment to ensure that you have everything ordered.
• Make sure that the switch rack-mount kit includes the following parts:
• The rack is installed and secured to its location.
Step 1
Install two front-mount brackets to the switch as follows:
a) Determine which end of the chassis is to be located in the cold aisle as follows:
• If the switch has port-side intake modules (fan modules with burgundy coloring), position the switch so that its
ports will be in the cold aisle.
• If the switch has port-side exhaust modules (fan modules with blue coloring), position the switch so that its fan
and power supply modules will be in the cold aisle.
b) Position a front-mount bracket so that four of its screw holes are aligned to the screw holes on the side of the chassis.

You must supply the eight 10-32 or 12-24 screws required to mount the slider rails and switch to the rack.
• Front rack-mount brackets (2)
• Rear rack-mount brackets (2)
• Slider rails (2)
• M4 x 0.7 x 8-mm Phillips countersink screws (12)
You can align any four of the holes in the front rack-mount bracket to four of the six screw holes on the
side of the chassis (see the two ways to mount these brackets on a typical chassis, in following figure).
The holes that you use depend on the requirements of your rack and the amount of clearance required
for interface cables (3 inches [7.6 mm] minimum) and module handles (1 inch [2.5 mm] minimum).
