2.3 Unpacking and Moving the Switch
The DCS-7816 accessory kit includes bolts and lifting brackets (Figure 2: Lifting Brackets) that must
be attached to the top of the chassis with the bolts supplied for lifting the chassis from the pallet onto
the transport lift. You can use any appropriate lifting mechanism/tool to unload the switch. A platform lift
is recommended for transportation and installation of the switch. The rack mounting cradle is shipped
nested upside down over the top of the chassis for all switches (Figure 3: Cradle and Switch). There is
a protective film on the top and sides to keep the cradle from scratching the chassis during transport.
