C H A P T E R Overview This chapter provides an overview of the Cisco Nexus 6000 Series switch. The overview includes information on the expansion modules, power supplies, and fan modules that you can include with the switch. This chapter describes the Cisco Nexus 6000 Series switch and includes the following sections: Cisco Nexus 6001 Switch, page 1-1 •...
S e n d d o c u m e n t a t i o n c o m m e n t s t o n e x u s 6 k d o c s @ c i s c o . c o m . Chassis The Cisco Nexus 6001 switch chassis is 1 RU, 1.75 inches (4.4 cm) tall, 17.3 inches (43.9 cm) wide, and 30 inches (76.2 cm) deep. The front of the switch is shown in Figure 1-1.
4 QSFP+ ports Power Supply The Cisco Nexus 6001 switch uses a front-end power supply. The chassis has slots for tworedundant power supplies. Power Supply options need to be configured with the base chassis. It needs minimum of one power supply to operate. OIR is supported on the power supplies and the power supplies are hot swappable.
Transceivers The Cisco Nexus 6001 supports a wide variety of 1, 10, and 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity options. This section includes the following topics: 1 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ Transceiver Support Matrix, page 1-4 •...
• Features The Cisco Nexus 6004 offers the industry’s highest 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) port density in a compact energy-efficient form factor, with integrated Layer 2 and Layer 3 features at wire speed and low latency of approximately 1 microsecond for any packet size. With a choice of front-to-back or back-to-front airflow options, the switch is designed for a broad range of traditional data center and large-scale virtualized cloud deployments.
Gigabit Ethernet platform in the industry. Chassis The Cisco Nexus 6004 switch chassis is 4 RU, 6.97 inches (17.7 cm) tall, 17.3 inches (43.9 cm) wide, and 30 inches (76.2 cm) deep. It is designed to be mounted in a standard 19-inch wide rack. The front of the switch, shown in Figure 1-3, has a console management port and USBport, six power supplies, and four fan modules.
Page 22
Fixed ports 4RU chassis Four expansion modules The rear of the Cisco Nexus 6004 switch (N6004-B-24Q) chassis , shown in Figure 1-5, has 8 removablr line-card expansion module (LEM) slots to support a total of 96 ports of 40 Gbps. Each LEM supports 12 ports of 40 Gigabit Ethernet in a QSFP form factor.
All the individual ports on the Cisco Nexus 6004 switch are numbered and groups of ports are numbered based on their function. Depending on how it is configured, there are 96 ports on the the Cisco Nexus 6004 switch. The ports are numbered from top-to-bottom and from left-to-right. The fixed ports are grouped together and the modular ports are grouped together.
Figure 1-7 Port Numbering of the Cisco Nexus 6004 switch Power Supply The Cisco Nexus 6004 switch uses a front-end power supply. The chassis has slots for six power supplies. Table 1-3 lists the power supplies that you can order with the Cisco Nexus 6004 N6K-C6004-96Q and N6004-B-24Q switches.
Fan Module The Cisco Nexus 6004 switch has four fan modules. Although the switch can function when a fan stops functioning within a fan module, if a whole fan module stops functioning, you must replace the fan module.
Page 26
Airflow Power supplies and fan modules should be selected depending on the desired air flow direction. Figure 1-10 shows a fan module Cisco Nexus 6000 Series Hardware Installation Guide 1-12 OL-15902-01...
Figure 1-10 Airflow Transceivers The Cisco Nexus 6004 series switch supports a wide variety of 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity options using Cisco 40GBASE QSFP and breakout cable options. This section includes the following topics: Transceiver Support Matrix, page 1-13 •...

Twinax copper cables use only 1.5 watts (W) of power per transceiver and introduce less than 0.1 microsecond of latency per link. For longer cable runs, the Cisco Nexus 6004 platform supports multimode, short-reach optical QSFP transceivers. These optical transceivers use approximately 1.5W per transceiver and have a latency of less than 0.1 microsecond.

2-5. Airflow Direction The airflow through the fan trays and power supplies on the Cisco Nexus 6000 switch is either from front to back or from back to front, depending on how the modules were ordered. To ensure proper airflow, you must make sure that when you install the switch its air intake is positioned in a cold aisle and the air exhaust is positioned in a hot aisle for your data center.
Avoid UPS types that use ferroresonant technology. These UPS types can become unstable Caution with systems such as the Cisco Nexus 6000 switch, which can have substantial current draw fluctuations because of fluctuating data traffic patterns. • Ensure that circuits are sized according to local and national codes. For North America, the power supply requires a 15-A or 20-A circuit.

Align the two rear rack-mount guides on either side of the switch with the slider rails installed in the rack. Slide the rack-mount guides onto the slider rails, and then gently slide the switch all the way into the rack. The Cisco Nexus 6004 chassis slider rails are shown in Figure 2-1.
Repeat for the other front rack-mount bracket on the other side of the switch. Grounding the Switch This section describes the need for system grounding for all of the Cisco Nexus 6000 switch and explains how to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge.

ESD grounding straps are available with banana plugs, metal spring clips, or alligator clips. All chassis from the Cisco Nexus 6000 series are equipped with a banana plug connector (identified by the ground symbol next to the connector) somewhere on the front panel. We recommend that you use a personal ESD grounding strap equipped with a banana plug.
To attach the ESD wrist strap to the system ground lug screw for any of the Cisco Nexus 6000 switches, clip the grounding wire to the screw that attaches the grounding lug to the switch chassis .
Grounding the Cisco Nexus 6000 Series Chassis The chassis has a grounding pad with two threaded M4 holes for attaching a grounding lug. The location of the system ground on the Cisco Nexus 6000 switch is similar to that on the Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform switches.
Starting the Switch This section provides instructions for powering up the Cisco Nexus 6000 switch and verifying the component installation. Do not connect the Ethernet port to the LAN until the initial switch configuration has been performed.

Press the transceiver inward and upward into the cage. Next, lower the bale clasp latch and pull the transceiver straight out with a slight upward lifting force. Be careful not to damage the port cage during this process. Cisco Nexus 6000 Series Hardware Installation Guide OL-15902-01...
If the cable does not install easily, ensure that it is correctly positioned before continuing. Caution For instructions on verifying connectivity, see the appropriate Cisco Nexus 6000 Series CLI Configuration Guide. Replacing a Cable for a Transceiver When pulling a cable from a transceiver, grip the body of the connector. Do not pull on the jacket sleeve, Caution because this action can compromise the fiber-optic termination in the connector.

Removing a Power Supply If you are using a Cisco Nexus 6000 Platform removing the power supply causes the switch to shut down. Caution If you are using two power supplies and you remove one of them, the switch can continue to operate.
Note Depending on the outlet receptacle on your power distribution unit, you may need the optional jumper power cord to connect the Cisco Nexus 6000 switch to your outlet receptacle. See the “Jumper Power Cord” section on page C-8.

The cabinet floor should be open or perforated to enhance cooling • Cisco provides an R-Series rack that conforms to these requirements. Cable Management Guidelines To help with cable management, you might want to allow additional space in the rack above and below the chassis to make it easier to route as many as 56 fiber or copper cables through the rack.
