Chapter 5 Installing a Cisco Nexus 7018 Chassis
Installing the Chassis
c.
Use at least two persons to slide the chassis fully onto the lift so that the side of the chassis touches
or is close to the vertical rails on the lift. Push only the lower half of the frame of the chassis (never
push on the modules installed in the chassis and do not use their handles to guide the chassis).
Tip
Use a third person to guide the chassis and to make sure that it does not collide with anything or tip over.
Warning
To prevent personal injury or damage to the chassis, never attempt to lift or tilt the chassis using the
handles on modules (such as power supplies, fans, or cards); these types of handles are not designed
to support the weight of the unit.
Statement 1032
Caution
To lift the chassis, use a mechanical lift, not the handles on the side of the chassis (the handles are not
rated for lifting over 200 pounds [91 kg]). Use the side handles for only repositioning the chassis after
it is already on the mechanical lift or in the rack or cabinet.
Step 3
Use the mechanical lift to move and align the rear of the chassis to the front of the four-post rack or
cabinet. Make sure that the bottom of the chassis is elevated to the height of the bottom-support rails or
no more than 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) above the bracket.
Step 4
Use at least two persons to push the chassis half way onto the installed bottom-support rails as shown in
Figure 5-3
and a third person to guide the back of the chassis so that it does not get caught on anything
as it is pushed into the rack.
Note
Push evenly on both sides of the lower half of the front side of the chassis so that the back side
enters the rack first. and push until the chassis is half way onto the rack.
Tip
Use the third person to be sure that the back end of the chassis does not get caught on the
expansion edge of the bottom support rails.
