Installing the Hardware
Weight Considerations
The empty OmniSwitch 10K chassis weighs approximately
46 lbs (21 Kgs). When fully populated (i.e., with components
installed in all available chassis slots), the OmniSwitch 10K
can weigh up to approximately 200 lbs (90.5 Kgs).
Lifting the Chassis
Lifting the chassis requires two people. When lifting, use the
recessed hand grip provided on the rear panel and the
reinforced area immediately under the front air intake plenum.
