Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation

Safety and Compliance

Laser Safety

Single-mode Cisco XR 12000 series router line cards are equipped with lasers. The lasers emit invisible radiation. Do not stare into open line card ports. Observe the following warning to prevent eye injury:

Warning Avoid exposure to laser radiation. Do not stare into an open aperture, because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture when a cable is not inserted in the port.

Lifting Guidelines

A fully configured Cisco XR 12406 Router weighs approximately 205 pounds (93 kg). Before you install the router, ensure that your site is properly prepared so that you will not have to move the router later to accommodate power source and/or network connections.

Caution To prevent damage, never attempt to lift or tilt the router chassis using the handles on the blower module or line cards. These handles do not support the weight of the chassis.

Whenever you lift any heavy or awkward equipment, follow these precautions to avoid injury to yourself or damage to the equipment:

When using moving equipment, such as a safety hand truck, pallet jack, or forklift to move the equipment to another location, use only moving equipment that is capable of preventing the router from tipping.

Have a second person help lift the equipment; avoid lifting the equipment alone.

Ensure that your footing is solid; balance the weight of the object between your feet.

Lift the equipment slowly; never move suddenly or twist your body as you lift.
