Unpacking and Inspecting the Switch
Warning Two people are required to lift the chassis. Grasp the chassis underneath the lower edge and lift with both hands. To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. To prevent damage to the chassis and components, never attempt to lift the chassis with the handles on the power supplies or on the interface processors, or by the plastic panels on the front of the chassis. These handles were not designed to support the weight of the chassis. Statement 5

Use a mechanical lift to lift the MDS 9513 chassis. The Cisco MDS 9513 Director can weigh up to 375 lb (170 kg) when fully loaded, depending on what modules populate the chassis.
Cisco recommends that a third person assist whenever the chassis is being moved or lifted. The Cisco MDS 9509 Director weighs approximately 170 lb (77 kg) when fully loaded, and the Cisco MDS 9506 Director weighs approximately 125 lb (57 kg) when fully loaded with all modules and power supplies.
When handling switch components, wear an ESD strap and handle modules by the carrier edges only. An ESD socket is provided on the chassis. For the ESD socket to be effective, the chassis must be grounded either through the power cable, the chassis ground, or
