Chapter 3 Installing the Switch

Rack-Mounting the Switch

Whenever you lift a chassis or any heavy object, follow these guidelines:

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 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. (See Figure 3-1.)

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