Safe Handling of Equipment
Always follow these safety cautions when handling the QXS G2 equipment.
CAUTION: Use this equipment in a manner specified by the manufacturer: failure to do this may
cancel the protection provided by the equipment.
• Permanently unplug the chassis before you move it or if you think that it has become damaged in
any way.
• A safe lifting height is 20U.
• Always remove the power supply units (PSUs) to minimize weight before you move the chassis.
• Do not lift the chassis by the handles on the PSUs—they are not designed to take the weight.
CAUTION: Do not try to lift the chassis by yourself:
• Fully configured 2U12 chassis can weigh up to 32 kg (71 lb).
