CN3 Cabinet Preperation

Remove all (4) J-Hooks from CN3 cabinet by removing (2) #12-24 screws per J-Hook as shown.

All four rails are fully adjustable. To change depth, loosen three (3) 5/16 x 3/4” mounting bolts per cabinet rail using a 1/2” socket wrench and slide rails flush with cabinet posts. Retighten the mounting bolts to 14ft.-lbs. Proper torque ensures equipment rails are bonded to the cabinet frame.

CISCO NEXUS 7018 SWITCH CRADLE MUST BE mounted so that the shaded area shown below is kept clear to allow for proper fit of all switch ducting to cabinet. See view below for Panduit-suggested cradle position (refer to Cisco for cradle installation instructions).

NOTE: If casters are installed on NET-ACCESS cabinet, SWITCH CRADLE MUST BE installed so that the bottom six (6) rack spaces are kept clear to allow for proper fit of all switch ducting to cabinet, and that cabinet casters do not interfere with switch ducting (11.25” above bottom edge of equipment rail).

Requirements for Switch Installation

Install switch cradle (Cisco p/n: N7K-C7018-BSK=) so that slots of cradle align with tapped holes of equipment rails at 5th - 7th rack spaces (Bottom of switch cradle mounting flange will be positioned 7.75” above bottom edge of equipment rail).
