Removing an EX4500 Switch from a Rack or Cabinet
If you need to relocate an installed EX4500 switch, use the procedure described in
this topic. (The remainder of this topic uses “rack” to mean “rack or cabinet.” )
NOTE: When you remove multiple switches from a rack, remove the switch in the
top of the rack first and proceed to remove the rest of the switches from top to
bottom.
CAUTION: At least two people must be available to lift a switch chassis out of a
rack—one person to unscrew the mounting screws from the brackets and the second
person to hold the chassis.
Before removing the switch from a rack:
■ 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 145, with particular attention to “Chassis Lifting Guidelines for EX4500
Switches” on page 158.
■ Ensure that the switch has been safely powered off and that you have unplugged
(disconnected) the power cords.
■ Ensure that you have disconnected any cables or wires attached to the switch.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to remove the switch:
■ A Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2 or number 3, depending on the size of
your rack mounting screws.
■ A labelled bag to hold the removed screws.
