A purpose-built optional front-module door provides protection from accidental interference with both the
cabling and modules installed in the system. The transparent front door allows easy observation of cabling
and module indicators and status lights without any need to open the doors, reducing the likelihood of faults
caused by human interference. The door supports a dual-opening capability for flexible operation and cable
installation while fitted. The door can easily be completely removed for both initial cabling and day-to-day
management of the system.
Energy-Efficient Design
The Cisco Nexus 7000 Series uses power supplies that are up to 90 percent efficient, so less power is wasted as
heat, and more power is available for the system to use than with typical power supplies.
The fan modules in the chassis adjust to compensate for changing thermal characteristics. At lower speeds, they
use less power. In the 9-slot chassis, the fan tray is designed to completely turn off the power for a row of fans
when the corresponding slots are unused.
Consolidation of multiple switches in the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series is enabled by the powerful combination of high
density and performance, support for device virtualization, and comprehensive reliability and availability features.
This consolidation increases the power efficiency by reducing wasted power from multiple partially loaded and
inflexible systems.
