Starting the Switch, on page 19 Safety Before you install, operate, or service the switch, see the Regulatory, Compliance, and Safety Information for the Cisco Nexus 3000 and 9000 Series for important Safety Information. Warning Statement 1071 Warning Definition IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS This warning symbol means danger.
You can install the switch using the following rack-mount options: • Rack-mount kit (NXK-ACC-KIT-1RU) which you can order from Cisco. This option offers you easy installation, greater stability, increased weight capacity, added accessibility, and improved removability with front and rear removal.

To reduce risk of electric shock, when installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last. Before you begin Before you can ground the chassis, you must have a connection to the earth ground for the data center building. Cisco Nexus C9316D-GX NX-OS Mode Switch Hardware Installation Guide...
• The switch must be adequately grounded. • The rack must be close enough to the dedicated power source so that you can connect the switch to the power source by using a designated power cables. Cisco Nexus C9316D-GX NX-OS Mode Switch Hardware Installation Guide...

When running cables in overhead or subfloor cable trays, we strongly recommend that you locate power cables and other potential noise sources as far away as practical from network cabling that terminates on Cisco equipment. In situations where long parallel cable runs cannot be separated by at least 3.3 feet (1 meter), we recommend that you shield any potential noise sources by housing them in a grounded metallic conduit.

Connect the other end of the RJ-45 rollover cable to the console or to a modem. What to do next You are ready to create the initial switch configuration (see Creating the Initial Switch Configuration, on page 25). Cisco Nexus C9316D-GX NX-OS Mode Switch Hardware Installation Guide...
To connect the switch to the network, you can use the default choices for each configuration except the IP address, which you must provide. You can perform the other configurations later as described in the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series NX-OS Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
RJ-45 connectors. For longer connections, you can use an optical cable with SFP transceivers (LH or SX type). Note Use only one of these management ports—the switch does not support the use of both management ports. Cisco Nexus C9316D-GX NX-OS Mode Switch Hardware Installation Guide...
When removing transceivers from the switch, it is best to remove the optical cable first and then remove the transceiver. To determine which transceivers, adapters, and cables are supported by this switch, see the Cisco Transceiver Modules Compatibility Information document.
