Fully loaded, the chassis can weigh up to 325 lb (147.5 kg). You can lighten the
chassis for easier moving by removing its power supplies, fan trays, and fabric
modules. To determine the full weight of the chassis and the appropriate weight
rating for the mechanical lift, see Weights and Quantities for the Chassis, Modules,
Fan Trays, and Power Supplies, on page 118.
Note
You must use a mechanical lift or floor jack to elevate a switch weighing over
120 pounds (55 kg).
Caution
• Phillips-head torque screwdriver
• Bottom-support rails kit (shipped with the accessory kit)
Part of this kit has already been used to install the bottom-support rails. You should still have 14
12-24 x 3/4-inch or M6 x 19 mm Phillips screws, which are required for attaching the chassis to the
rack.
You should also have at least two persons to push the chassis when you slide it onto the rack.
Note
To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions to
ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:
• This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
• When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the
heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the
unit in the rack.
Statement 1006
Warning
Step 1 If you need to make the chassis as light as possible for moving, you can optionally remove the fabric modules, fan
trays, and power supplies.
• To remove a power supply, follow these steps:
1. Slide the handle in the middle of the ejector lever towards the end of the lever and rotate the lever away from
the power supply.
2. Pull the power supply a couple of inches (about 5 cm) out of the chassis.
3. Place one hand under the power supply to support its weight and pull the power supply out of the chassis.
4. Place the power supply on an antistatic surface.
