Installing the Switch Using the NXK-ACC-KIT-1RU Rack-Mount

Kit

To install the switch, you must attach front and rear mounting brackets to the switch, install slider rails on the

rear of the rack, slide the switch onto the slider rails, and secure the switch to the front of the rack. Typically,

the front of the rack is the side easiest to access for maintenance.

Note

Before you begin

• You have inspected the switch shipment to ensure that you have everything ordered.

• Make sure that the switch rack-mount kit includes the following parts:

• The rack is installed and secured to its location.

Step 1

Install two front rack-mount brackets and the two rear rack-mount brackets to the switch as follows:

a) Determine which end of the chassis is to be located in the cold aisle as follows:

• If the switch has port-side intake modules (fan modules with burgundy coloring), position the switch so that its

ports will be in the cold aisle.

• If the switch has port-side exhaust modules (fan modules with blue coloring), position the switch so that its fan

and power supply modules will be in the cold aisle.

b) Position the front rack-mount bracket and the rear rack-mount bracket so that its screw holes are aligned to the screw

holes on the side of the chassis.

Note

You must supply the eight 10-32 or 12-24 screws required to mount the slider rails and switch to the rack.

• Front rack-mount brackets (2)

• Rear rack-mount brackets (2)

• Slider rails (2)

• M4 x 0.7 x 8-mm Phillips pan-head screws (10)

You can align the holes in the rack-mount bracket to the holes on the side of the chassis (see the two

ways to mount these brackets on a typical chassis, in following figure). The holes that you use depend

on the requirements of your rack and the amount of clearance required for interface cables (3 inches [7.6

mm] minimum) and module handles (1 inch [2.5 mm] minimum).
