Chassis-Lifting Guidelines

Chassis-Lifting Guidelines

The chassis is not intended to be moved frequently. Before you install the system, ensure that your site is
properly prepared so that you can avoid having to move the chassis later to accommodate power sources and
network connections.
Each time you lift the chassis, follow these guidelines:
• Ensure that your footing is solid, and balance the weight of the chassis 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,
• Do not remove installed components from the chassis.
• Always disconnect all external cables before lifting or moving the chassis.
Warning
To prevent personal injury or damage to the chassis, never attempt to lift or tilt 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. Statement 163
