Chapter 4 Installing a Cisco Nexus Fabric Extender

Removing and Installing Components

Note If you remove a fan tray while the system is running, you must install the new fan tray within 1 minute to prevent overheating.

Installing a Fan Tray

To install a fan tray, follow these steps:

Step 1 Hold the fan tray with the sheet metal flange holding the connector on the bottom.

Step 2 Place the fan tray into the port-side exhaust chassis cavity so it rests on the chassis, and then push the fan tray into the chassis as far as it can go until the captive screw makes contact with the chassis.

Step 3 Tighten the captive screw.

Step 4 Listen for the fans if the device is powered on. You should immediately hear them operating. If you do not hear them, ensure that the fan tray is inserted completely in the chassis and the faceplate is flush with the outside surface of the chassis.

Step 5 Verify that the LED is green. If the LED is not green, one or more fans are faulty. If this problem occurs, contact your customer service representative for a replacement part.

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

To remove the Cisco Nexus 2000 Series FEX from a rack, follow these steps:

Step 1 Ensure that the weight of the FEX is fully supported and that the device is being held by another person. Step 2 Turn off the power at the circuit breaker.

Step 3 Disconnect the power cord as follows:

•For AC power supplies, disconnect the power cord and the console cables.

•For DC power supplies, disconnect the positive cable from the negative (-) terminal, and disconnect the negative cable from the positive (+) terminal.

Step 4 Disconnect all ports.

Step 5 Remove the screws that fasten the port side exhaust rack-mount brackets to the mounting rails.

2000 specifications

In the year 2000, Cisco Systems, a leading technology company, was at the forefront of networking and communication solutions. With a rich history of innovation, Cisco solidified its position as a global leader in providing advanced networking technologies, hardware, and software.

One of the most significant features of Cisco in 2000 was its comprehensive portfolio of routers and switches. The company was known for its powerful routers, which were essential for managing internet traffic efficiently. Cisco’s Catalyst series of switches provided high levels of performance and scalability, enabling companies to build robust local area networks (LANs). These devices supported Ethernet technologies and catered to the growing demands of businesses for faster and more reliable connectivity.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the internet was experiencing rapid growth, and Cisco capitalized on this surge by introducing technologies that facilitated internet protocol (IP) networking. Its focus on developing IP-based solutions allowed businesses to integrate voice, video, and data services seamlessly over a single network. This was a significant advancement known as convergence, fundamentally changing how organizations approached communication.

Another characteristic of Cisco in 2000 was its commitment to security. As businesses began to increase their reliance on the internet, the risks associated with cyber threats also grew. Cisco developed security solutions such as firewalls and intrusion detection systems to help protect networks from potential attacks. The introduction of the Cisco Secure Network Architecture laid the foundation for comprehensive network security strategies.

Cisco also emphasized research and development, consistently investing in new technologies and innovations. The company was a pioneer in developing optical networking solutions, which enabled faster data transmission over long distances. This was crucial for supporting the growing bandwidth demands of the era.

Furthermore, Cisco’s collaboration with various technology partners and its global presence allowed it to provide customers with tailored solutions to meet diverse needs across different industries. The introduction of certification programs, like the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA), helped create a skilled workforce equipped to deploy and manage Cisco technologies effectively.

In summary, Cisco Systems in 2000 showcased a blend of powerful routing and switching capabilities, a commitment to internet security, and innovative solutions that paved the way for future networking technologies. Its focus on convergence and relentless drive for high-performance networking made it a vital player in the evolving landscape of technology during this period.
