Connecting the Switch
This chapter describes how to connect the Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform and Cisco Nexus 5000 Platform switches to the following types of ports:
•Console port
•Ethernet ports, both encrypted and
•Fibre Channel
Caution When running power and data cables in overhead or subfloor cable trays, we strongly recommend that you locate power cables and other potential noise sources as far away as practical from network cabling that terminates on Cisco equipment. In situations where long parallel cable runs cannot be separated by at least 3.3 ft (1 m), we recommend that you shield any potential noise sources by housing them in a grounded metallic conduit.
