Removing the Cisco Nexus 6000 Platform Chassis

Caution The slider rail and front rack-mount brackets do not have a stop mechanism when sliding in and out. If the front of the chassis is unfastened from the rack and the chassis slides forward on the slider rails, it might slip off the end of the rails and fall out of the rack.

To remove the Cisco Nexus 6000 Platform chassisfrom a rack, follow these steps:

Step 1 Ensure that the weight of the switch is fully supported and that the switch is being held by another person.

Step 2 Disconnect the power cord and the console cables.

Step 3 Disconnect all cables that are connected to transceivers.

Step 4 Remove the screws fastening the front rack-mount brackets to the mounting rails.

Step 5 Gently slide the switch towards you, off of the slider rails and out of the rack.
