Mounting the T1600 Chassis Using a Mechanical Lift

98
Because of the router's size and weight—up to 606 lb (275 kg) depending on
configuration—we strongly recommend that you install the router using a lift.
To mount the chassis in the rack or cabinet using a lift (see Figure 58 on page 99):
If you are installing the router in an open-frame rack, ensure that the rack is in its
1.
permanent location and is secured to the building. Ensure that the installation site
allows adequate clearance for both airflow and maintenance. For details, see
"Clearance Requirements for Airflow and T1600 Hardware Maintenance" on page 77.
Load the router onto the lift, making sure it rests securely on the lift platform.
2.
CAUTION: Do not lift the router using the installation handle or the handles
on the sides of the chassis. Use these handles only to help position the
router.
Using the lift, position the chassis in front of the rack or cabinet, centering it in front
3.
of the mounting shelves.
Lift the chassis approximately 0.75 in. above the surface of the mounting shelves and
4.
position it as close as possible to the shelves.
Carefully slide the chassis onto the mounting shelves so that the bottom of the chassis
5.
and the mounting shelves overlap by approximately 2 inches.
With one person pulling on the installation handle from the rear of the rack or cabinet
6.
while two people push on the front-mounting flanges, slide the chassis onto the
mounting shelves until the mounting brackets or front-mounting flanges contact the
rack rails or spacer bars (depending on your type of installation). The shelves ensure
that the holes in the mounting brackets and the front-mounting flanges of the chassis
align with the holes in the rack rails.
Move the lift away from the rack.
7.
If you are installing the router in a four-post rack or cabinet, install a mounting screw
8.
and a cage nut into each of the holes aligned with the threaded holes in the spacer
bars. If you are installing the router in an open-frame rack, install a mounting screw
into each of the open mounting holes aligned with the rack, starting from the bottom.
Visually inspect the alignment of the router. If the router is installed properly in the
9.
rack, all the mounting screws on one side of the rack should be aligned with the
mounting screws on the opposite side and the router should be level.
