Important Notice
A fork lift or pallet jack can be used to transport a crated chassis only.
Throughout this document we refer to the dolly (supplied by Cisco) as the required means to transport the
uncrated chassis from the shipping dock to the chassis final location.
In the event that the dolly supplied by Cisco is not the appropriate method of transportation, consult with
Cisco support to determine a method of transportation appropriate for the site. Ensure that the alternate moving
device is capable of supporting the weight of the chassis, moving the chassis safely, and preventing the chassis
from tipping too far and falling during transport.
Guidelines
When you use the dolly to move the as-shipped Cisco NCS 6000 Series chassis, follow these guidelines:
•
When using the dolly to move the as-shipped chassis between locations, ensure that the chassis is free
of RP cards, FCs, LCs, fan trays, and power components (to reduce weight). Cisco strongly recommends
that you do not move a chassis while it is fully populated.
The Cisco NCS 6000 FCC ships with two shelf controller cards (SC-SW or SC cards) preinstalled in the
chassis. Do not remove these cards.
