Installing the SAN192C-6 Chassis in a Two-Post Rack

Before you begin
• Verify that the chassis shipment is complete and undamaged.
• Verify that a two-post rack is installed and secured to the subfloor.
Warning : Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the rack must be
bolted to the floor before you slide the unit out for servicing. Failure to stabilize the rack can cause
the rack to tip over.

• Verify that the bottom-support rails have been attached to the lowest possible RU in the rack or cabinet
and there is 9 RU (15.75 inches [40.0 cm]) of space above the rails to install the chassis.
• If there are other devices in the rack, verify that the devices that are heavier than this chassis are
installed below where you are going to install the chassis and lighter devices are installed above where
you are going to install the chassis.
• Verify that the data center ground is accessible where you are installing the chassis.
• Verify that you have the following tools and equipment:
– Mechanical lift capable of lifting the full weight of the chassis and its installed modules
Note : Fully loaded, the SAN192C-6 chassis can weigh up to 325 lb (147.5 kg). You can lighten
the chassis for easier moving by removing its power supplies, fan modules, and fabric modules. To
determine the full weight of the chassis and the appropriate weight rating for the mechanical lift, see
Appendix A, "Product Specifications," on page 135.
CAUTION : You must use a mechanical lift or floor jack to elevate a switch weighing over 120
pounds (55 kg).
– Manual Phillips-head torque screwdriver
Note : You should also have at least two persons to push the chassis when you slide it onto the rack.
Warning : To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must
take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are
provided to ensure your safety:
• This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
• When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with
the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing
the unit in the rack.
