Statement 1030
The prerequisites listed for any procedure are required conditions that you must verify before you start
that procedure. If the prerequisites have not been met, you must satisfy those requirements before
carrying out the procedure.
Safety warnings appear in this publication wherever procedures present conditions that could endanger
you or others installing this system. Adhering to these warnings and following their recommended
actions are required actions for these procedures. For regulatory compliance and safety information on
these warnings, see the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information
document.
Installation and Connection Guidelines
After you fully prepare the site as specified in the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Site Preparation Guide,
install a four-post 19-inch EIA rack, and attach two bottom-support rails, you can begin installing the
Cisco Nexus 7000 Series system. To install the system, you must load the chassis onto a mechanical lift,
use the mechanical lift to position and elevate the chassis at its bottom-support rails on a rack or cabinet,
push the chassis onto the rack or cabinet, and then secure the chassis to the rack or cabinet. With the
chassis in place, you can install the power supply units and accessories and then connect the device to
the console and network. For detailed instructions on installing a Cisco Nexus 7010 device, see the
following chapters:
• Chapter 2, “Installing a Cisco Nexus 7010 Chassis.”
• Chapter 3, “Installing a Cisco Nexus 7018 Chassis.”
• Chapter 4, “Installing Power Supply Units.”
For detailed instructions on connecting the device to the console and network, see Chapter 5,
“Connecting the Cisco Nexus 7000 Device to the Network.”
Caution Do not use the handles on the side of the chassis to lift the chassis. Use these handles only for adjusting
the position of the chassis while the chassis rests on a platform or bottom-support rails.
Managing the System Hardware
After the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series system is installed and operating, you can use the Cisco NX-OS
operating system to manage the system hardware. These management functions include displaying
system and module information, setting the power supply modes, and managing module functions. For
more information about these functions, see
Chapter 6, “Managing the Device Hardware.”
