Reducing the Weight of the Chassis Prior to Installation
You can reduce the weight of the chassis prior to installation by removing the upper and lower fan trays, and
the PFUs. Follow the instructions below to safely remove these components prior to installation.
During installation, maintenance and/or removal, wear a grounding wrist strap to avoid ESD damage to
the components. Connect the strap to a ground point on the rack/cabinet frame. Failure to do so could
result in damage to sensitive electronic components and potentially void your warranty.
Caution
Removing the Fan Trays
To avoid personal injury and/or damage to the fan trays, be sure to support each fan tray's weight from
its front and rear as you slide it completely out of the chassis.
