Chapter 1 Overview
Cisco Nexus 7000 Series
Note Figure 1-1 shows the Cisco Nexus 7004 chassis as it appears when it is fully configured before including
cables for management and network connections. The systems that are not fully configured with the
maximum number of supervisor modules, I/O modules, or power supply units have blank panels installed
in place of the missing components to maintain the designed airflow for system cooling.
You must install the Cisco Nexus 7004 chassis in a two- or 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 12.25 inches (31.1 cm) or 7 rack units (RU) for a single chassis
installation.
Install the Cisco Nexus 7004 chassis at the lowest possible RU on the rack for stability. If there are other
devices in the rack, install the heavier chassis below the lighter chassis.
Warning Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the rack must be bolted to the
floor before you slide the unit out for servicing. Failure to stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip
over. Statement 1048
Cisco Nexus 7009 Switch
The Cisco Nexus 7009 chassis has 9 slots that allow for one or two supervisor modules and up to seven
I/O modules. Additionally, the chassis also holds up to five fabric modules, one fan tray, up to two power
supplies, and cable management frames. The chassis also has a front-mount bracket (an alternative
center-mount bracket can be ordered) and four positioning handles (two on each side) that you use to
position the chassis after you place it on a mechanical lift or bottom-support brackets. Optionally, you
can include a door and air intake frame.
Figure 1-2 identifies the standard features on the front and sides of the Cisco Nexus 7009 chassis, and
Figure 1-3 identifies the standard features on the rear of the chassis.
