Step 4 Remove the adhesive label from the grounding pad on the chassis.

Step 5 Place the grounding lug against the grounding pad so that there is solid metal-to-metal contact, and insert the two M4 screws with washers through the holes in the grounding lug and into the grounding pad.

Step 6 Ensure that the lug and cable do not interfere with other equipment.

Step 7 Prepare the other end of the grounding cable and connect it to an appropriate grounding point in your site to ensure adequate earth ground.

Starting the Switch

This section provides instructions for powering up the switch and verifying component installation.

Note Do not connect the Ethernet port to the LAN until the initial switch configuration has been performed. For instructions on configuring the switch, see the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series CLI Configuration Guide. For instructions on connecting to the console port, see the “Connecting to the Console Port” section on page 3-2.

Warning When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last.

Statement 1046

To power up the switch and verify hardware operation, follow these steps:

Step 1 Verify that empty power supply slots have filler panels installed, the faceplates of all modules are flush with the front of the chassis, and the captive screws of the power supplies, fan module, and all expansion modules are tight.

Step 2 Verify that the power supply and the fan modules are installed.

Note Depending on the outlet receptacle on your power distribution unit, you may need the optional jumper power cord to connect the Cisco Nexus 5000 switch to your outlet receptacle. See the “Jumper Power Cord” section on page C-10.

Step 3 Ensure that the switch is adequately grounded as described in the “Grounding the System” section on page 2-10, and that the power cables are connected to outlets that have the required AC power voltages (see the “Power Specifications” section on page B-2).

Step 4 Connect the power cable to an AC power source. The switch should power on as soon as you connect the power cable.

Step 5 Listen for the fans; they should begin operating when the power cable is plugged in.
