Make sure the rack housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable or falling
over.
1. If the chassis is in a cabinet, remove it from the cabinet.
2. Place the chassis on a lift or on the shipping pallet provided with the original chassis.
3. Unpack the new chassis:
a) Cut the bands that encircle the packaging.
b) Remove the lid and the kits and foam from the top of the chassis.
c) Lift the cardboard box off the chassis and remove the plastic bag from around the chassis. Save the packing
materials for use when returning the old chassis.
d) Leave the chassis on top of the plastic shipping tray if the chassis must be transported to the installation location.
NOTE
The device packaging does not incorporate a wood pallet and pallet brackets. The chassis sits on top of
a plastic shipping tray.
4. Use a pallet jack or other assisted lift to transport the new chassis to the installation area. Doorways must be wider
than 91 cm (36 in.) to accommodate the chassis on the pallet.
5. Use a lift to raise the chassis to the correct level. If installing the chassis in a cabinet, follow the instructions provided
by the rack kit manufacturer.

Installing components into the chassis

Follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when installing new components. Wear a wrist grounding strap
connected to chassis ground (if the device is plugged in) or a bench ground.
