Table 2-1lists the items contained in the rack-mount kit that is provided with the switch.

Table 2-1	Cisco Nexus 3016, 3048, and 3064 Switch Rack-Mount Kits
Quantity	Part Description
2	Front rack-mount brackets
2	Rear rack-mount guides
2	Slider rails
12	M4 x 0.7 x 8-mm Phillips countersunk screws

Note You must supply the eight 10-32 or 12-24 screws required to mount the rack brackets and slider rails to the rack. The rack-mount kit does not provide these screws.

To install the switch in a rack or cabinet, follow these steps:

Step 1 Install the front rack-mount brackets on the chassis as follows:

a.Determine whether the chassis port connections or the fan tray and power supply modules should have easier access at the opening of the rack or cabinet. You will install that end of the chassis closest to the opening of the rack or cabinet.

b.On the side of the chassis by the end that is to have the easiest access, align four of the screw holes in a front rack-mount bracket to four screw holes in the side of the chassis. If you want the fan tray and power supplies to have the easiest access, see callouts 1 and 2 in Figure 2-1. If you want the port connections to have the easiest access, see callouts 5 and 6 in Figure 2-2.

Note You can align any four of the holes in the front rack-mount bracket to four of the six screw holes in the chassis. The holes that you use depend on the requirements of your rack and the amount of clearance required for port cables (3 inches [7.6 cm] minimum) and module handles (1 inch [2.5 cm] minimum).
