This appendix provides log sheets that you can use to record information when installing a Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch.
This appendix includes the following sections:
Note For information about how to query the switch for configuration information, see the appropriate Cisco Nexus 5000 Series CLI configuration guide.
Site Preparation Checklist
Planning the location and layout of your equipment rack or wiring closet is essential for successful switch operation, ventilation, and accessibility. Table G-1 lists the site planning tasks that we recommend completing before installing a Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch.
Consider heat dissipation when sizing the air-conditioning requirements for an installation. See Table B-6 for the environmental requirements, and the “Power Specifications” section for power and heat ratings.
