Asante Technologies 9000 manual Lifting the Chassis Safely, Safety With Electricity

Installation Guidelines

Lifting the Chassis Safely

The IntraChassis 9000 is not intended to be moved frequently. Before you install the switch, ensure that your site is properly prepared so that you can avoid moving the chassis later to accommodate power sources and network connections.

Two people are required to lift the IntraChassis 9000. Whenever you lift the chassis or any heavy object, follow these guidelines:

❑Never attempt to lift a chassis by yourself. The size and weight of a chassis requires two people to safely lift and move it without causing injury or damaging the equipment.

❑Ensure that your footing is solid, and balance the weight of the chas- sis between your feet.

❑Lift the IntraChassis 9000 slowly; never move suddenly or twist your body as you lift.

❑Keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. If you must bend down to lift the chassis, bend at the knees, not at the waist, to reduce the strain on your lower back muscles.

❑Leave all switch and power modules in place once they are properly installed.

❑Always disconnect all external cables before lifting or moving the chassis.

Safety With Electricity

The secondary power supply is designed to be removed and replaced while the system is operating without presenting an electrical hazard or damage to the system. Before removing a redundant power supply, ensure that the other power supply is turned on.

Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:

❑Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the chassis inte- rior, locate the emergency power-off switch for the room in which you are working.

❑Disconnect all power and external cables before installing or remov- ing a chassis.

❑Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist.

❑Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit;
