Cisco 7513, Cisco 7513-MX, and Cisco 7576 Installation Considerations

The chassis should already be in the area where you will install it, and your installation location should
already be determined.
Before working on a chassis or working near power supplies, unplug the power cord on AC units or
Warning
disconnect the power at the circuit breaker on DC units.
The Cisco 7513, Cisco 7513-MX, and Cisco 7576 chassis weigh 160 lb (72.6 kg) fully configured and
can be lifted by two people; however, to make the installation easier, consider removing components
from the chassis.
Specifically, consider the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Two people are required to lift the chassis. Grasp the chassis underneath the lower edge and lift with
Warning
both hands. To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. To prevent
damage to the chassis and components, never attempt to lift the chassis with the handles on the
power supplies, interface processors, or the blower module. These handles were not designed to
support the weight of the chassis.
To prevent damage to the chassis, lift the chassis by placing one hand on a side handle and the other
beneath the front of the chassis, as shown in
handle or the air intake vent.

Each processor module weighs approximately 2.5 lb (1.13 kg).
(To remove processor modules from the Cisco 7513, Cisco 7513-MX, or Cisco 7576, see
Figure 3-14.)
The card cage assembly weighs approximately 15 lb (6.8 kg).
(To remove the card cage assembly, see the
7513-MX, and Cisco 7576 Card Cage Assembly" section on page
The blower module weighs approximately 10 lb (4.55 kg).
(To remove the blower assembly, see the
7513-MX, and Cisco 7576 Blower Module" section on page
Each power supply weighs approximately 25 lb (11.34 kg).
(Power supplies are not installed when you receive your Cisco 7513, Cisco 7513-MX, or
Cisco 7576. To install power supplies, see the
7576 Power Supplies" section on page
To lighten the chassis by approximately 110 lb (49.9 kg), remove the power supplies, processor
modules (assuming all 13 slots are filled), card cage assembly, and blower module before moving
the chassis into the rack. (We recommend removing all of these items for rack-mount installation.)
To lighten the chassis by approximately 100 lb (40.8 kg), remove the power supplies, processor
modules (assuming all thirteen slots are filled), and card cage assembly before moving the chassis
into the rack.
To lighten the chassis by approximately 85 lb (38.6 kg), remove only the power supplies and
processor modules before moving the chassis into the rack.
To lighten the chassis by approximately 50 lb (22.7 kg), remove only the power supplies before
moving the chassis into the rack.
