Unpacking and transporting the device
About this task
Use the following procedure to unpack and install your device.
DANGER
A fully populated chassis weighs approximately 68.95 kg (152.0 lbs) and requires a hydraulic or
assisted lift to install it.
If a lift tool is not available, the director chassis must be depopulated completely before installing
it into the rack. Note any possible interconnecting cables so that you will be able to reconnect them
correctly. Remove the power supplies, fan modules, all of the blades, the cable management fingers,
and the chassis door (if equipped). Install the empty chassis into the rack following the chassis
installation instructions. The weight of the empty chassis is 54 lb (24.5 kg) and must be lifted by
minimum 2 people. After securing the chassis to the rack, reinstall the power supplies, fan
modules, the blades and any possible interconnecting cables and proceed with the installation.
Procedure
1. Unpack the device.
a. Cut the bands that encircle the packaging.
b. Open the top of the shipping box and remove accessory kit, rack mount kits, and foam from the
top of the device.
c. Lift the cardboard shipping container and inner cardboard sleeve off the device.
d. Remove the antistatic plastic off the device.
e. Leave the device on top of the bottom piece of packing foam, plastic shipping tray, and wood
pallet (if used) if the device must be transported to the installation location.
f. Verify the contents of the shipping carton by referring to "Items shipped" on page 14.
g. Save foam packing material and wooden pallet for reuse.
2. Use a pallet jack or other assisted lift to transport the device to the installation area. Doorways must
be wider than 36 in. (91 cm) to accommodate the device.
3. Remove the chassis door if installed.
4. Remove the vertical cable management fingers if attached to rack.
5. Use a lift to raise the device to the correct level. Use two people, one to operate the lift and the other
to secure the device on the lift.
Note: Do not attempt to lift the device by the protective cover attached to over the air vents on the
port side of the chassis.
Note: Orient the device on the lift so that you can slide it into correct side of rack to provide cool air
intake. Fans and power supply FRUs in this device have a green "E" or "I" symbol on the FRU
faceplate. An "E" indicates that the FRU pulls air from the port side of the device and exhausts out the
nonport side. An "I" indicates that the FRU pulls air from the nonport side of the device and exhausts
out the port side. Fans and power supplies must have the same airflow indicator. Be sure that you are
pulling cool air into the air intake side of the device. For more details, refer to"Fan and power supply
airflow" on page 162.
6. If applicable, lock the wheels of the lift.
7. Install the applicable rack mount kit in your equipment rack and mount the device using the rack
mount kit's installation instructions.
