Chassis-Lifting Guidelines
The fully configured system weighs approximately 75 pounds. The chassis is not intended to be moved frequently. Before you install the system, ensure that your site is properly prepared so you can avoid having to move the chassis later to accommodate power sources and network connections.
Two or more people are required to lift the chassis. Each time you lift the chassis or any heavy object, follow these guidelines:
•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 without causing injury or damaging the equipment.
•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 back muscles.
•Do not remove installed components from the chassis.
•Always disconnect all external cables before lifting or moving the chassis.
