Installing the Cisco Nexus 5020 Chassis in a Cabinet or Rack
Step 3 Attach the slider rails to the rack as shown in Figure 3-4 . Use two 12-24 screws or two 10-32 screws,
depending on the rack rail thread type. For racks with square holes, insert the 12-24 cage nuts in position
behind the mounting holes in the slider rails.
a. Repeat with the other slider rail on the other side of the rack.
b. Use the tape measure and level to verify that the rails are horizontal and at the same height.
Figure 3-4 Installing the Slider Rails
Step 4 Insert the switch into the rack:
a. Using both hands, position the switch with the back of the switch between the front posts of the rack.
b. Align the two rack-mount guides on either side of the switch with the slider rails installed in the
rack. Slide the rack-mount glides onto the slider rails, and then gently slide the switch all the way
into the rack. See
Figure 3-5 . If the switch does not slide easily, try realigning the rack-mount glides
on the slider rails.
