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

5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 to remove the other fan trays.
On an operating switch, remove only one fan tray at a time. Removing more than one fan tray
at a time compromises system cooling, risks damage to the hardware, and can cause the
switch to shut down abruptly.
After removing the power supplies, line modules, and fan trays as described completing the preceding
actions, the switch weight is sufficiently reduced for carrying by four people using the provided lift handles.

Move the Chassis to the Mounting Location

.
Mount devices installed in a rack or cabinet as low as possible. Mount the heaviest devices at the bottom of
the rack and lighter devices higher up.
Before you begin, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
If you are using a mechanical lift, skip this step and see

44.
All fan trays, all line modules, and all power supply units are removed from the chassis.
n
Ensure that the equipment rack or other switch mounting site is prepared to receive the chassis. See
n
Preparation on page 10
Use the following procedure to manually move the chassis
1. Remove the foam cushions from the right and left side of the chassis. Ensure that the breakaway
foam pieces at the chassis base on each side of the chassis are removed, exposing the bottom edge
of each side of the chassis.
2. Pull away the poly bag covering the chassis to expose the bottom edge of the chassis on both sides.
3. Using four people, carefully lift the chassis and move it to the mounting location.

Using a Mechanical Lift to Move the Chassis

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
Location.
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
6400 Product Weights on page 89
determine which components to remove to lower the chassis weight to less than the maximum load
capacity of your lift.
Use the following procedure to use a mechanical lift to move the hardware.
