Installation Options
You can install the Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnect chassis in a perforated or solid-walled
EIA cabinet or an open EIA rack (the Cisco R Series Rack is an ideal choice), using the rack-mount kit
shipped with the chassis (N10-SACCA= or N10-SACCB=), for instructions on installing the chassis
using the rack-mount kit shipped with the chassis, see the
a Cabinet or Rack" section on page
Airflow Considerations
Airflow through the Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnect is from front to back. Air enters the
chassis through the fan trays and power supplies mounted at the front of the chassis and exits the chassis
through perforations on the rear of the chassis. To ensure proper airflow, follow these guidelines:

Maintain ambient airflow throughout the data center to ensure normal operation.
Consider the heat dissipation of all equipment when determining air conditioning requirements.
When evaluating airflow requirements, take into consideration that hot air generated by equipment
at the bottom of the rack can be drawn in the intake ports of the equipment above.
Be sure to allow unobstructed exhaust air flow.
Disconnect all power and external cables before lifting the system.
Have two people to lift the system. The Cisco UCS 6120XP weighs 35 pounds (15.9 kg). The Cisco
UCS 6140XP weighs 50 pounds (22.7 kg)
Ensure that your footing is solid and the weight of the system is evenly distributed between your
feet.
Lift the system slowly, keeping your back straight. Lift with your legs, not with your back. Bend at
the knees, not at the waist.
