Removing the Router from the Rack

This section describes how to remove the router from the equipment rack.

A fully-equipped router can weigh as much as 415 lb (188 kg). Because of the weight and height of the router, Cisco provides a rack-mounting system for the router that enables a team of two installers to extract a fully-loaded router from a rack without removing any of the components from the router chassis. For information on the router rack-mounting system, refer to “A fully equipped router with an optional two-levelAC-input power shelf can weigh as much as

440pounds (200 kg). The router ships on a scissor-jack platform that enables two people to install a fully loaded router into a rack without removing any of the components from the chassis.” section on page 3-2.

Note As an option, you can elect to remove some of the components from the chassis to reduce the top-end weight of the chassis and lower the center of gravity, making the chassis more stable as you move it. The procedures for removing components are described in the “Unpacking and Positioning the Router” section on page 3-3.

Procedures in the following sections describe the steps for removing the chassis from the equipment rack:

•Powering Down the Router, page A-7

•Removing the Front Covers, page A-8

•Disconnecting RP Cables, page A-8
