--> Recently I had the chance to convert a bunch of Nexus 9000 Series Switches to ACI Mode, I followed the below steps to convert the Switch from Nexus Mode to ACI Fabric Mode:
Step1: Download the ACI Image from Cisco Website
Step2: Copy the ACI Image to USB Disk
Step3: Connect the USB Disk to the USB Port of the Switch which is going to be converted
Step4: Execute the following command on the switch which is going to be converted:
switch # dir usb1:
switch # copy usb1:<aci-image.bin> bootflash:
Step5: Verify the Integrity of file by checking the MD5 SUM value and comparing it with the MD5 Checksum value which is downloaded from Cisco Website
Switch (config)# show file bootflash:aci-image.bin
Step6: Save the configuration
Switch # copy running-config startup-config
Step7: Boot the Nexus Switch into ACI Mode:
Switch (config)# boot aci bootflash:aci-image.bin
Step8: Reload the Switch
Switch # Reload
