Chassis Clearances

You must provide adequate clearance for installing the device, replacing device modules, and allowing
airflow to and from the switch. All Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switches require at least 38.0 inches
(96.5 cm) of clearance in front of the switch and at least 30 inches (76.2 cm) of clearance in back of the
switch to install and replace the switch and its components.
Note If you need more space for the mechanical lift, include the additional space with the clearance for the
front of the chassis.
For the Cisco Nexus 7010 switch, the clearances for installation and replacement of components is
adequate for the device airflow. Side clearance is not needed for installation, replacement, or airflow, but
should be planned anyway for the cables that connect to the switch (see the documentation provided by
the cable manufacturer for this information). Cabinets used to hold the chassis typically provide the side
clearance required for cable routing.
For the Cisco Nexus 7018 switch, the side-to-side airflow requires 11 inches (27.9 cm) of space on each
side of the switch (or 22 inches [55.8 cm] between Cisco Nexus 7018 switches). You can route the I/O
cables on the left front side of the chassis, but on the right side, you can route cables only on the upper
right side of the chassis. This cabling configuration allows coolant air to enter the lower front side or
from the floor to the air intake areas on the right side of the switch.
