Using A Mechanical Lift To Move The Chassis - HP Aruba 6400 Series Installation And Getting Started Manual

Using a mechanical lift to move the chassis

Prerequisites
WARNING:
A fully populated Aruba 6405 switch weighs up to 61 kg (133 lbs); a fully populated Aruba 6410
switch weighs up to 100 kg (219 lbs). Ensure that the combined weight of the chassis with all
components installed does not exceed the maximum load capacity of your mechanical lift.
If you are not using a mechanical lift, then skip this section and see Manually moving the
chassis.
If you are using a mechanical lift to move and mount the chassis, then it is not necessary to remove the
switch components unless the combined weight of the chassis and installed components exceeds the
maximum load capacity of the lift. If the lift capacity is less than the weight of your switch, then see Aruba
6400 product weights for details on determining the populated weight of your switch. Then determine
which components to remove to lower the chassis weight to less than the maximum load capacity of your
lift.
Procedure
1. Expose the bottom edge of the chassis front panel by:
a. Removing the front foam breakaway cushions.
b. Releasing the tabs on the cardboard tray.
c. Pulling the tray sides down.
d. Tucking the poly bag out of the way.
2. Position the mechanical lift on the same level as the front, bottom edge of the chassis, and touching the
chassis.
3. Lock the lift wheels.
4. Slide the chassis as far forward as possible onto the lift.
5. Raise the lift enough to allow it to clear the shipping pallet.
6. Unlock the lift wheels and move the chassis to its mounting location.

CAUTION: Raise the chassis only as high as needed to clear any obstacles in the path to the
mounting location.
