Cisco 12016, Cisco 12416, and Cisco 12816 Router Installation and Configuration Guide
2-6
A fully configured router can weigh as much as 275 pounds (lb)
(124.74 kilograms (kg)), while an empty chassis weighs 125 lb (56.7 kg). These
systems are not intended to be moved frequently. Before you install the router,
ensure that your site is properly prepared so you can avoid having to move the
router later to accommodate power sources and network connections.
Use the following lifting guidelines to avoid injury to yourself or damage to the
equipment:
Do not lift equipment alone; have another person help you to lift heavy
•
equipment.
Ensure that your footing is solid; balance the weight of the object between
•
your feet.
Lift the equipment slowly; never move suddenly or twist your body as you
•
lift.
Keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. When bending
•
down to lift equipment, bend at the knees (not at the waist), to reduce the
strain on your lower back muscles.
To prevent equipment damage, never attempt to lift or tilt the router chassis using
the handles on the blower module or on line cards. These handles do not support
the weight of the chassis.
The Cisco 12016, Cisco 2416 and Cisco 12816 routers are designed to meet the
regulatory compliance and safety approval requirements. Refer to the Regulatory
Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco 12000 Series Router
(Document Number 78-4347-xx) if you require additional compliance
information (see "Cisco Technical Support & Documentation Website" section on
page -xx for site information).
