Chapter Summary

This chapter contains instructions for installing an MGX 8230 as a stand-alone unit or in a rack. Due to the weight of the equipment, a mechanical lift should be used to install the MGX 8230 chassis.

Note Use of a lift greatly simplifies the installation process since the cards and power supplies do not need to be removed.

Mechanical Lift Guidelines

•The lift should be capable of handling 300lbs.

•A sample lift is the T & S Hefti-Lift, Model HYD-5. For specifications, see http://www.tseq.com/products/ergosol/hefti-lift.htm.
