Unpacking and Inspecting the Switch
Before you install a new chassis, you need to unpack and inspect it to be sure that you have all the items
that you ordered and verify that the switch was not damaged during shipment. If anything is damaged or
missing, contact your customer representative immediately.
About this task
CAUTION: We recommend that you use a mechanical lift when the chassis is being moved or
lifted. Fully loaded, SAN192C-6 chassis can weigh up to 325 lb (147.5 kg), SAN384C-6 chassis can
weigh up to 449.5 lb (203.8 kg), and SAN768C-6 chassis can weigh up to 923 lb (419 kg).
CAUTION: When handling switch components, wear an ESD strap and handle modules by the
carrier edges only. An ESD socket is provided on the chassis. For the ESD socket to be effective, the
chassis must be grounded either through the power cable, the chassis ground, or metal-to-metal
contact with a grounded rack.
Tip: Keep the shipping container for use when moving or shipping the chassis in the future. The shipping
carton can be flattened and stored with the pallet.
Note: The switch was thoroughly inspected before shipment. If any damage occurred during
transportation or any items are missing, contact your customer service representative immediately.
