Installing Power Supply Units

This chapter describes how to install power supply units in any Cisco Nexus 7000 Series chassis. This chapter also explains how to connect the power supply to the AC power source. For information on managing power modes, see the “Power Supply Configuration Modes” section on page 6-8.

This chapter includes the following sections:

Installing Power Supply Units

You can install two to three power supply units in the Cisco Nexus 7010 system and two to four power supply units in the Cisco Nexus 7018 system. In either system, you must fill each power supply bay with either a 6-kW or 7.5-kW power supply unit or cover the bay with a blank plate.

Caution Although each AC power interface on every power supply unit includes a ground connection, you should also connect the chassis to an earth ground. For information on grounding the Nexus 7010 chassis, see the “Grounding the Cisco Nexus 7010 Chassis” section on page 2-11. For information on grounding the Nexus 7018 chassis, see the “Grounding the Cisco Nexus 7018 Chassis” section on page 3-11.

After you install the chassis and connect the chassis to an earth ground, you can install the power supply units.

To install the power supply units, follow these steps for each 6-kW or 7.5-kW power supply unit:

Step 1 Ensure that the switch on the front of the power supply unit is in the STBY position and that the power supply unit is not connected to AC power sources.

Step 2 Grasp the handle on the power supply unit with one hand, place the other hand under the unit, and orient the unit to an open power supply bay on the rear of the chassis.

Step 3 Slide the unit all the way into the power supply bay until it is seated on the midplane and the four captive screws on the front of the unit are aligned with their holes in the chassis.

Step 4 Secure each of the four capture screws into the chassis and tighten them to 69 N m (8 in-lbs).

Cisco Systems 7000 series routers are pivotal in the landscape of networking, providing high-performance, reliable solutions for enterprise environments and service providers. These routers were designed to support the growing demands of digital communication, offering robust features that enhance connectivity and streamline network operations.

One of the primary characteristics of the Cisco 7000 series is its modular architecture. This allows for the integration of various interface modules and processing units, enabling organizations to customize their routers according to specific networking needs. The modularity supports scalability, as businesses can upgrade or replace components as their requirements evolve without having to replace the entire system.

The Cisco 7000 series incorporates advanced routing protocols, ensuring efficient data packet management and traffic flow. It supports multiple protocols, including OSPF, BGP, and EIGRP, facilitating seamless integration into a variety of network environments. This flexibility is essential in modern networks, where diverse communication protocols are in use.

Load balancing capabilities are another significant feature of the Cisco 7000 series. This functionality allows for the optimal distribution of network traffic across multiple paths, enhancing performance and redundancy. By ensuring that no single route is overwhelmed, organizations can maintain uptime and improve overall user experience.

Security is a top priority for many businesses, and the Cisco 7000 series addresses this need with built-in security features. It supports Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and access control lists (ACL) to provide secure remote access and protect sensitive data from unauthorized access. This capability is vital in today’s threat landscape, where data breaches can have far-reaching consequences.

The series also boasts high throughput and low latency, making it suitable for bandwidth-intensive applications like video conferencing and cloud computing. Coupled with Quality of Service (QoS) features, the Cisco 7000 ensures that critical applications receive the bandwidth they need, thereby enhancing overall network performance.

In terms of manageability, the Cisco 7000 routers come equipped with advanced monitoring and diagnostic tools. Network administrators can easily track performance metrics and identify potential issues before they escalate, minimizing downtimes and maintaining business continuity.

In summary, the Cisco Systems 7000 series routers are a sophisticated solution for organizations seeking to optimize their networking infrastructure. With modularity, robust routing protocols, load balancing, security features, high performance, and comprehensive manageability, the Cisco 7000 series stands out as a reliable foundation for successful network operations in an increasingly connected world.
