The chassis weighs 76 pounds (34.5 kilograms [kg]) when empty (with no interface processors or

Always turn all power supplies off and unplug all power cords before installing or removing a
chassis.
Keep the chassis area clear and dust free during and after the installation.
Keep tools and chassis components away from walk areas.
Keep your path clear between the chassis and the rack. When carrying large, heavy equipment

can cause accidents.
Never attempt to lift the chassis by yourself. The size and weight of the chassis require two
people to safely lift and move it without causing injury or damaging the equipment.
