Installation Options with Rack-Mount Kits

The rack-mount kit enables you to install the switch into racks of varying depths. You can position the switch
with easy access to either the port connections or the fan and power supply modules.
Install the switch using these rack-mount options:
The rack or cabinet that you use must meet the requirements listed the in
and Racks

Install a Rack

Before you install the switch, you must install a standard four-post, 19-inch EIA data center rack (or a cabinet
that contains such a rack) that meets the requirements listed in
Step 1
Bolt the rack to the concrete subfloor before moving the chassis onto it.

    Installing the Chassis in a Four-Post Rack Before you install the chassis, be sure that the rack is fully secured to the data center floor. Installing the Switch using the N9K-C9300-RMK Rack-mount Kit Attaching the Bottom-Support Rails to the Rack The switch chassis that you are installing ships with two adjustable bottom-support rails that you can attach to a four-post rack to hold the chassis.
  • Page 4 Installing the Chassis Attaching the Bottom-Support Rails to the Rack 36 inches (91 cm). On each bottom-support rail, the rail half that slides into the other rail includes a chassis stop that fits into the module end of the chassis. Depending on direction of the chassis airflow, position the rail half with the chassis stop so that the fan and power supply modules end up in the appropriate aisle as follows: •...

  • Page 6 Installing the Chassis Attaching Front-Mount Brackets to the Chassis Check the two installed bottom support rails to be sure that both have their chassis stops by the same aisle Note (either both by the hot aisle or both by the cold aisle) and that both rails are level and level with each other. If they are not level, adjust the higher rail down to the level of the lower rail.

    Installing the Chassis Grounding the Chassis c) Tighten the 10-32 screws to 20 in-lb (2.26 N·m) or tighten the 12-24 screws to 30 in-lb (3.39 N·m). Grounding the Chassis The switch chassis is automatically grounded when you properly install the switch in a grounded rack with metal-to-metal connections between the switch and rack.

  • Page 12: Starting The Switch

    Installing the Chassis Starting the Switch Before you begin Before you can ground the chassis, you must have a connection to the earth ground for the data center building. Procedure Step 1 Use a wire-stripping tool to remove approximately 0.75 inch (19 mm) of the covering from the end of the grounding wire.
  • Page 13 Installing the Chassis Starting the Switch Before you begin • The switch must be installed and secured to a rack or cabinet. • The switch must be adequately grounded. • The rack must be close enough to the dedicated power source so that you can connect the switch to the power source by using the designated power cables.
  • Page 14 A setup utility automatically launches the first time that you access the switch and guides you through the basic configuration. For instructions on how to configure the switch and check module connectivity, see the appropriate Cisco Nexus 9000 Series configuration guide.
