Chapter 3 Installing the Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform or 5000 Series Switch
Installing the Cisco Nexus 5010 Chassis in a Cabinet or Rack
Step 2 Install the rack-mount guides on the switch as follows:
a. Position one of the rack-mount brackets against the side of the switch and align the screw holes. This
procedure is the same as that for the Cisco Nexus 5020 switch. See
Figure 3-3 . Then attach the
bracket to the switch with two of the flat-head M4 screws.
b. Repeat with the other rack-mount bracket on the other side of the switch.
Step 3 Attach the slider rails to the rack. This procedure is the same as that for the Cisco Nexus 5020 switch.
See
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 3-8 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. This procedure is the same as that for the Cisco Nexus 5020 switch. See
Figure 3-5 .
If the switch does not slide easily, try realigning the rack-mount glides on the slider rails.
