• Review chassis lifting guidelines described in
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to install the switch:
• A mechanical lift
• 7/16-in. (11-mm) nut driver

• Phillips (+) screwdrivers, number 1 and 2

• ESD grounding wrist strap
Because of the size and weight of the switch, we strongly recommend using a mechanical lift to install
the switch.
CAUTION: Do not install line cards in the chassis until after you mount the chassis
securely on a rack or cabinet.
CAUTION: Before front-mounting the switch on a rack or cabinet, have a qualified
technician verify that the rack or cabinet is strong enough to support the weight of the
switch and is adequately supported at the installation site.
CAUTION: If you are installing more than one switch in a rack or cabinet, install the first
switch at the bottom of the rack.
To install the switch using a mechanical lift:
1. Attach the ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to the ESD point on the
chassis.
2. Ensure that the rack or cabinet is placed in its permanent location and is secured to the building.
Ensure that the installation site allows adequate clearance for both airflow and maintenance.
3. Load the switch onto the lift, making sure it rests securely on the lift platform.
