Chassis Lifting Guidelines
A fully configured Cisco 7200 VXR router weighs approximately 50 pounds. The chassis
is not intended to be moved frequently. Before you install the router, ensure that your site
is properly prepared so you can avoid having to move the chassis later to accommodate
power sources and network connections.
Whenever you lift the chassis or any heavy object, follow these guidelines (see Figure 2-1):
•
Always disconnect all external cables before lifting or moving the chassis.
•
Do not attempt to lift the chassis by yourself; have someone assist you.
•
Ensure that your footing is solid, and balance the weight of the object between your feet.
•
Lift the chassis slowly; never move suddenly or twist your body as you lift.
•
Keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. If you must bend down
to lift the chassis, bend at the knees, not at the waist, to reduce the strain on your lower
back muscles.
•
Lift the chassis from the bottom; grasp the underside of the chassis exterior with both
hands.
Warning
the chassis using the handles on modules (such as power supplies, fans, or cards); these
types of handles are not designed to support the weight of the unit. Lift the unit only by
using handles that are an integral part of the chassis, or by grasping the chassis underneath
its lower edge.
To prevent personal injury or damage to the chassis, never attempt to lift or tilt
