Se n d d oc u m e n t c om m e n t s t o m d s f e e d ba ck- do c @ c i s c o . c o m C H A P T E R 2 Preparing the Site This chapter describes the basic site requirements that you should be aware of as you prepare to install your Nexus 7000 Series devices.
Chapter 2 Preparing the Site Temperature Se n d d oc u m e n t c om m e n t s t o m d s f e e d ba ck- do c @ c i s c o . c o m Temperature When you install the Nexus 7000 Series, make sure that the system has adequate airflow from front to back and do not block the air inlet or the air exhaust. Temperature extremes can cause the Nexus 7000 Series devices to operate at reduced efficiency and cause a variety of problems, including premature aging and failure of chips, and failure of devices.
Chapter 2 Preparing the Site Dust and Particles Se n d d oc u m e n t c om m e n t s t o m d s f e e d ba ck- do c @ c i s c o . c o m Dust and Particles Exhaust fans cool power supplies and system fan trays cool systems by drawing in air and exhausting air out through various openings in the chassis. However, fans also ingest dust and other particles, causing contaminant buildup in the system and increased internal chassis temperature.
Chapter 2 Preparing the Site Shock and Vibration Se n d d oc u m e n t c om m e n t s t o m d s f e e d ba ck- do c @ c i s c o . c o m Note To predict and prevent strong EMI, you might need to consult experts in radio frequency interference (RFI). The wiring is unlikely to emit radio interference if you use twisted-pair cable with a good distribution of grounding conductors.

Chapter 3 Technical Specifications Physical Specifications for the Nexus 7010 System Se n d d oc u m e n t c om m e n t s t o m d s f e e d ba ck- do c @ c i s c o . c o m Physical Specifications for the Nexus 7010 System Table 3-2 lists the physical specifications for the Nexus 7010 system. Table 3-2 Dimensions for the Nexus 7010 Chassis Description Width Chassis 17.3 inches (43.9 cm) 38.0 inches (96.5 cm) Height1 Depth 36.5 inches (92.7 cm) (21.0 RU) 1.
Chapter 3 Technical Specifications Power Specifications for the Nexus 7010 System Se n d d oc u m e n t c om m e n t s t o m d s f e e d ba ck- do c @ c i s c o . c o m Power Requirements To determine the power requirements of the Nexus 7000 System, add the power requirements of each of its components. The quantity of each type of module in your system depends on how you configure your system.
Chapter 3 Technical Specifications Power Specifications for the Nexus 7010 System Se n d d oc u m e n t c om m e n t s t o m d s f e e d ba ck- do c @ c i s c o . c o m • Full redundancy mode—This mode provides both power-supply redundancy and input-source redundancy. This mode lets you replace a power supply without interrupting system operations, and it lets you continue powering the system if one of two grids goes down.
Chapter 3 Technical Specifications System Clearances Se n d d oc u m e n t c om m e n t s t o m d s f e e d ba ck- do c @ c i s c o . c o m System Clearances You must provide adequate clearance for installing the system and replacing system modules. The aisle in front of the system must have at least 38.0 inches of clearance to handle the depth of the system (additional clearance might be necessary for the mechanical lift used to position the chassis in front of the rack).
