Chapter 1 Unpacking and Installing the CSS

Safety Guidelines

The DC-powered CSS 11503 and CSS 11506 are not shipped with the wiring required to connect to the DC source. You must provide input, return, and earth (grounding) wiring at the site (refer to Chapter 2, Cabling and Troubleshooting the CSS), and install and protect the wiring in accordance with local and national wiring regulations.

The CSS operates safely when it is used in accordance with its marked electrical ratings and product usage instructions.

Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or replace this equipment.

Chassis-Lifting Guidelines for the CSS 11503 and CSS 11506

The fully-configured CSS 11503 weighs approximately 34 pounds. The fully-configured CSS 11506 weighs approximately 58 pounds. The chassis is not intended to be moved frequently. Before you install the CSS, ensure that your site is properly prepared; by doing so, you can avoid moving the chassis later to accommodate power sources and network connections.

When lifting either the CSS 11503 or CSS 11506 chassis, follow these guidelines:

Two or more people are required to lift the CSS 11506 chassis (as described in the procedure at the end of this section). Never attempt to lift the chassis by yourself. Because of the size and weight of the chassis, use at least two people to safely lift and move it; by doing so, you can avoid causing injury or damaging the equipment.

When lifting a chassis, ensure that your footing is solid, and balance the weight of the chassis between your feet.

Lift the chassis slowly; never move suddenly or twist your body as you lift.

Keep your back straight and lift the chassis 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 back muscles.

If you remove the fan assembly and power modules to lighten the chassis, be sure to provide anti-static mats or bags to protect the removed components. Be careful when you remove the power modules—they are heavy.
