Lifting Safely

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

A fully configured chassis weighs approximately 70 pounds. Whenever possible, avoid lifting the chassis by yourself.

Ensure that your footing is solid and balance the weight of the object 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.

Lift the chassis from the bottom; grasp the underside of the chassis exterior with both hands.

Never attempt to lift or tilt the chassis with the handles on the interface processor carriers or with the cable management brackets. Neither the handles nor the brackets are designed to support the weight of the chassis.

Tools and Equipment

This section lists the equipment you need to install the rack-mounting hardware and cable management brackets.

You need the following tools and parts to rack-mount the chassis:

Number 1 and number 2 Phillips screwdrivers

1/4-inch and 3/16-inch, flat-blade screwdrivers

Tape measure

Level (optional)

One rack-mount kit, which is included with the chassis and includes the following parts:

Two chassis ears

Four M4 x 10-mm Phillips flathead screws to secure the ears to the chassis

Eight 10-32 x 3/8-inch, slotted binderhead screws to secure the chassis ears to the rack rails You need the following tools and parts to install the cable management brackets:

Number 1 Phillips screwdriver

One cable management kit, which is included with the chassis and includes the following parts:

Two cable management brackets

Six M3 x 8-mm Phillips panhead screws

Also, you might need another person to assist you with the installation. When installing the router in an enclosed rack, removing the door temporarily may provide additional clearance. We recommend that you have someone to assist you by supporting the chassis while you mount it in the rack by securing the chassis ears to the mounting strips on the rack posts.
