Installing the Chassis in a Rack

Before you install the chassis in the rack, you must determine how you are going to lift the chassis to its
position on the rack. You can either lift the chassis with a mechanical lift and slide it on top of another
installed Cisco Nexus 7004 chassis, or you can lighten the chassis and lift it manually into position with
a couple of people. To lighten the chassis for lifting, you can remove the power supplies so that the
chassis weighs no more than 93 pounds (42 kg) and can be lifted by two people.
After lifting the chassis into position, you fasten it to the rack, and replace any power supplies that you
might have removed earlier.
To install a Cisco Nexus 7004 chassis in a two- or four-post rack or cabinet, follow these steps:
