Installing a Four-Post Rack or Cabinet
Before you install the Cisco Nexus 7010 chassis, 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 the Cisco Nexus 7000
Series Site Preparation Guide. To maximize safety, you should do the following for the rack:
• Bolt the rack to the concrete subfloor before moving the Cisco Nexus 7010 chassis onto it.
Warning
• If the rack has bonded construction, connect it to the earth ground to enable you to easily ground the
Be sure that the rack includes AC power receptacles with the amperage required for the power supply units
that you will be installing in the chassis. If you are installing 6-kW power supply units, you must have 20-A
circuits. If you are installing 7.5-kW power supply units, you must have 30-A circuits.
Warning
For instructions on setting up the rack, see the documentation that the manufacturer shipped with the rack.

These tools and equipment do not ship with the chassis.
When you handle the Cisco Nexus 7010 chassis or its components, you must follow ESD protocol at all times
to prevent ESD damage. This protocol includes but is not limited to wearing an ESD wrist strap that you
connect to the earth ground.
For a list of tools required to assemble and secure the four-post rack or cabinet, see the documentation that
the manufacturer shipped with the rack or cabinet.
