Chassis Lifting Guidelines

A fully configured RTU-4000 chassis, with RTU-4100 OTDR Module installed, is not intended to
be moved frequently. Before installing, plan chassis placement and ensure that your site is
properly prepared so you can avoid having to move the chassis later to accommodate power
sources and network connections.
When lifting the chassis, follow these guidelines:
• Always disconnect ALL external cables before lifting or moving the chassis.
• 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. This reduces the strain on your lower back
muscles.
• Lift the chassis from the bottom by grasping the underside of the chassis exterior with both
hands.

Rack Mounting the Chassis

Exercise caution when rack mounting this or any other type of equipment.
Ensure that all equipment is properly secured along the specified
hardware. Equipment must be installed in a safe manner to prevent
overloading, tipping over, or other unsafe conditions.
To rack mount the chassis:
1. Remove the mounting screws on the left and right front sides of the chassis. If you want
to do a reverse installation, remove the mounting screws from the back sides of the
chassis.
2. Install rack mounting brackets to the left and right sides of the chassis using the eight
mounting screws you removed. If a reverse installation is needed, install the rack
mounting brackets so that the back panel is facing front.
