Note If you do not have enough power supply units to fill all of the power supply bays, cover each empty power supply bay with a blank plate (Cisco part number 800-28658-01) and secure it by screwing in its captive screws to 69 N m (8 in-lbs).

Connecting the Power Supply Units to AC Power

You must connect two or more installed 6-kW or 7.5-kW power supply units to an AC power source to power your Cisco Nexus 7000 Series system. To connect a 6-kW power supply unit, you must connect one or two power cables to the power supply and to one or two 20A AC power sources that provide 110 V or 220 V of power. To connect a 7.5-kW power supply unit, you must connect one or two power cables, which are permanently attached to the power supply unit, to 30A AC power sources that provide 220 V of power.

Note The power cables required for each 6-kW power supply unit are shipped in the system accessory kit. Check the power cables with the list of available power cables in the Cisco Nexus 7010 System Accessory Kit Contents or Cisco Nexus 7018 System Accessory Kit Contents to be sure you have the correct cables. If you do not have the correct cables, contact Cisco Technical Support.

Warning Read the installation instructions before connecting the system to the power source. Statement 1004

Prerequisites for Connecting Power Supply Units to AC Power

Before you connect the power supply units to AC power sources, you must install the power supply units in the chassis and you must have the appropriate AC power source receptacles within reach of the power supply cables that are attached to the installed power supply units. For 6-kW power supply units, you must have one or two 20 A circuits that provide 110 V or 220 V of power. For 7.5-kW power supply units, you must have one or two 30 A circuits that provide 220 V of power. If you are using the combined power mode or power supply redundancy mode, you only need one circuit. If you are using the input source redundancy mode, you must have at least two circuits.

Required Tools and Equipment

You need a Phillips screwdriver to secure power cables to the power supply units.

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.
