Site Preparation Checklist

Planning the location and layout of your equipment rack or wiring closet is essential for successful device operation, ventilation, and accessibility. Table G-1 lists the site planning tasks that we recommend completing before installing the Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extender.

Consider heat dissipation when sizing the air-conditioning requirements for an installation. See Table B-2 for the environmental requirements and the "Power Specifications" section for power and heat ratings.

Table G-1 Site Planning Checklist 

Task No.	Planning Activity	Verified By	Time	Date
1	Space evaluation: •Space and layout •Floor covering •Impact and vibration •Lighting •Maintenance access
2	Environmental evaluation: •Ambient temperature •Humidity •Altitude •Atmospheric contamination •Air flow
3	Power evaluation: •Input power type •Power receptacles1 •Receptacle proximity to the equipment •Dedicated circuit for power supply •Dedicated (separate) circuits for redundant power supplies •UPS2 for power failures
4	Grounding evaluation: •Circuit breaker size •CO ground (AC-powered systems)
5	Cable and interface equipment evaluation: •Cable type •Connector type •Cable distance limitations •Interface equipment (transceivers)
6	EMI3 evaluation: •Distance limitations for signaling •Site wiring •RFI4 levels

1 Verify that the power supply installed in the chassis has a dedicated AC source circuit. 2 UPS = uninterruptible power supply. 3 EMI = electromagnetic interference. 4 RFI = radio frequency interference.
