Site Preparation Checklist

Planning the location and layout of your equipment rack or wiring closet is essential for successful
switch operation, ventilation, and accessibility. Table D-1 lists the site planning tasks that we
recommend completing before installing the Cisco Nexus 5000 switch.
Consider heat dissipation when sizing the air-conditioning requirements for an installation. See
Table B-3 on page B-2 for the environmental requirements, and the “Power Specifications” section on
page B-2 for power and heat ratings.
