Installing a Chassis in a Rack or Cabinet
Warning
Step 1 Make the chassis as light as possible for moving, remove the following modules and place them where their connectors
will not be damaged:
• Power supplies—For each power supply, press and hold the eject lever, and use the handle on the front of the power
supply to remove the module.
• Fan trays—Unscrew the four captive screws, and use the two handles on the fan tray to remove the module.
• Fabric modules—For each fabric module, press both eject buttons on the front, rotate both levers away from the
front of the module, and use the levers to remove the module.
Step 2 Load the chassis onto a mechanical lift as follows:
a) Position the mechanical lift next to the shipping pallet that holds the chassis.
b) Elevate the lift platform to the level of the bottom of the chassis (or no more than 1/4 inch [0.635 cm] below the
bottom of the chassis).
c) Use at least two people to slide the chassis onto the lift so that the side of the chassis touches or is close to the vertical
rails on the lift. Make sure that the front and rear of the chassis are unobstructed so you can easily push the chassis
into the rack.
Warning Statement 1032 Lifting the Chassis
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.
To lift the chassis, use a mechanical lift. Do not use the handles on the side of the chassis (the handles are not
Note
rated for lifting over 200 pounds [91 kg]). Use the side handles for only repositioning the chassis after it is
already on the mechanical lift or in the rack or cabinet.
Step 3 Use the mechanical lift to move and align the rear of the chassis to the front of the four-post rack or cabinet.
Make sure that the bottom of the chassis is elevated to the height of the bottom-support rails or no more than 1/4 inch
(0.6 cm) above the bracket.
Step 4
Push the chassis halfway onto the rack or cabinet.
Use at least two people to push the chassis onto the bottom-support rails and one person to guide the chassis down the
center of the rails. Push the lower half of the front side of the chassis so that the back side enters the rack. Then push until
the chassis is halfway onto the rack, see the following figure. Ensure that the chassis does not get caught on any of the
expansion edges of the bottom-support rail.
