Repacking the System Components
Disconnecting the System from the Network
To disconnect the system from the network, you must remove each I/O cable from the system I/O
modules.
Repacking the System Components
You repack the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series system in its shipping materials, which you can order if they
are not available at your facility. To make the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series lighter and easier to move,
remove its power supply units, its external frames and doors, and, for the Cisco Nexus 7010 switch, its
optional air filter before you move the chassis. You should pack each of these components separately. To
pack the chassis, you typically use a mechanical lift (required whenever lifting over 120 pounds [54.4
kg]) to move the chassis from the rack to its shipping pallet, where you can package the chassis and its
components.
