Chapter 1 Overview
Cisco Nexus 7000 Series
Figure 1-3 Standard Hardware Features on the Back of the Cisco Nexus 7010 Chassis
Note Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-3 show the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series chassis as it appears when it is fully
configured before including cables for connections to the Internet and the console. The systems that are
not fully configured with the maximum number of supervisor modules, I/O modules, fabric modul es, or
power supply units have blank panels installed in place of the missing components to maintain the
designed airflow for system cooling.
You must install the Cisco Nexus 7010 system chassis in a four-post 19-inch EIA rack that meets the
following specifications:
Mounting rails that conform to the English universal hole spacing as specified in
ANSI/EIA-310-D-1992.
The minimum vertical rack space is 36.75 inches (93.3 cm) or 21 rack units (RU) for a single chassis
installation and 73.5 inches (186.6 cm) or 42 rack units for a dual-chassis installation. We
recommend that you use a 45 RU rack for a dual-chassis installation.
