Unpacking and Positioning the Router

Follow the unpacking instructions shipped with the router and use a safety hand truck to move the router to the location where it is being installed in a rack.

Save the packaging materials in case the router needs repackaging or shipping.

Removing Components Before Installing the Chassis

The router is designed to be lifted by two persons into a rack. To reduce the weight of the system, you can remove some of the components before attempting to lift it into the rack.
