Removing an EX8208 Switch from a Rack or Cabinet Using a Mechanical Lift
Because of the switch's size and weight, we strongly recommend using a mechanical lift to remove the switch. For instructions on removing a switch without using a mechanical lift, see “Removing an EX8208 Switch from a Rack or Cabinet Without Using a Mechanical Lift” on page 203.
Before you remove the switch using a lift:
•Ensure that the rack or cabinet is stable and secured to the building.
•Ensure that there is enough space to place the removed switch in its new location and along the path to the new location.
•Read “General Safety Guidelines and Warnings for EX Series Switches” on page 263, withparticularattentionto“ChassisLiftingGuidelinesforEX8200Switches”onpage276.
•Ensure that the switch has been safely powered off (see “Powering Off an EX8200 Switch” on page 199) and that you have unplugged (disconnected) the power cords to the power supplies.
•Ensure that you have disconnected any cables or wires attached to the switch ports.
CAUTION: When removing more than one switch from a rack or cabinet, remove the switch in the top of the rack or cabinet first and proceed to remove the rest of the switches from top to bottom.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to remove the switch:
•A mechanical lift
•A Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2 or number 3, depending on the size of your rack mounting screws
