Mounting an EX9208 Switch on a Rack or Cabinet Without Using a Mechanical Lift
To install the switch in the rack (see Figure 48 on page 169):
CAUTION: If you are installing more than one switch in a rack, install the
lowest one first. Installing a switch in an upper position in a rack or cabinet
requires a lift.
CAUTION: Before front mounting the switch in a rack, have a qualified
technician verify that the rack is strong enough to support the weight of the
switch and is adequately supported at the installation site.
CAUTION: Lifting the chassis and mounting it in a rack requires two people.
The empty chassis weighs approximately 65.5 lb (29.7 kg).
1. Prepare the site for installation as described in “Site Preparation Checklist for an
EX9208 Switch” on page 79.
2. Ensure the site has adequate clearance for both airflow and hardware maintenance
as described in “Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance for
an EX9208 Switch” on page 88.
3. Unpack the switch as described in “Unpacking the EX9200 Switch” on page 155.
4. Remove all components except the midplane from the chassis. See:
•

5. Ensure that the rack is in its permanent location and is secured to the building. Ensure
that the installation site allows adequate clearance for both airflow and maintenance.
6. Position the switch in front of the rack or cabinet, centering it in front of the mounting
shelf. Use a pallet jack if one is available.
7. With one person on each side, hold onto the bottom of the chassis and carefully lift
it onto the mounting shelf.
WARNING: To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your
legs, not your back. Avoid twisting your body as you lift. Balance the load
evenly, and be sure that your footing is solid.
