Cisco Nexus 7000 Series
You must install the Cisco Nexus 7010 system chassis in a four-post 19-inch EIA rack that meets the
following specifications:
• Mounting rails that conform to the English universal hole spacing as specified in
ANSI/EIA-310-D-1992.
• The minimum vertical rack space is 36.75 inches (93.3 cm) or 21 rack units (RU) for a single chassis
installation and 73.5 inches (186.6 cm) or 42 rack units for a dual-chassis installation. We
recommend that you use a 45 RU rack for a dual-chassis installation.
If you install one chassis, install it at the lowest possible RU on the rack for stability, as shown in
Figure
other chassis on top as shown in
Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the rack must be bolted to the
Warning
floor before you slide the unit out for servicing. Failure to stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip
over. Statement 1048
