Installing the Chassis Using a Mechanical Lift

Because the router weighs between 190 lb (86 kg) and about 370.5 lb (168 kg)
depending on configuration, using a mechanical lift to install it is recommended.
This chapter provides instructions. If you do not use a lift, see "Installing the Router
without a Mechanical Lift" on page 83. This chapter has the following sections:

To install the chassis into a rack using a mechanical lift, you need
the following tools and parts:
Mechanical lift
5/32-in. Allen (hexagonal) wrench for tightening the mounting screws provided
in the accessory box; do not substitute a metric-size wrench
Phillips (+) screwdrivers, numbers 1 and 2, if removing center-mounting
brackets or installing rear support shelf
Using a mechanical lift to maneuver the router into the rack is recommended
because of the router's size and weight. The lift must be able to accommodate the
router's weight—between 190 lb (86 kg) and about 370.5 lb (168 kg) depending on
configuration—and must fit between the support posts of the rack.
NOTE: If you are installing multiple routers in a rack, install the lowest one first
and proceed upward.
