Cisco Network Convergence System 6000 Series Routers Unpacking, Moving, and Securing Guide
OL-29233-01
Chapter 3
Guidelines
–
Raise or lower the chassis only on a level surface.
–
Make sure that the caster brakes and anti-rotation pins are in the locked position.
–
Keep the casters on the floor at all times when you are raising or lowering the chassis.
–
Attempt to keep the chassis itself as level as possible when raising or lowering it with the dolly.
–
Use the height label on the dolly to make sure that you have the correct amount of ground
clearance. The label shows the recommended transport chassis engagement height, the height
that is not to be exceeded, and to ensure correct alignment between both dolly wheel assemblies.
•
When moving the chassis in a hallway (standard hallway is 5 feet wide) or through aisles using a
dolly, follow these guidelines:
–
Make sure that you have at least two people to transport the chassis. Never transport the chassis
by yourself.
–
Use the dolly in the 180-degree configuration whenever possible when you move the chassis.
This configuration requires you to have passageways at least 50 inches in width to accommodate
the combined dolly and chassis width.
–
Use the dolly in the 90-degree configuration if your site restrictions require it. If hallway
constraints require you to use the 90-degree dolly configuration (24 inches), the chassis is more
likely to tip, so use extra care when transporting the chassis in that configuration.
–
When the dolly is used to transport the chassis, to reduce the risk of dolly instability, chassis
damage, or personal injury, do not raise the equipment more than 1 inch (2.4 cm) above the floor
during transportation.
–
The dolly can be used to transport the chassis over thresholds up to 1.5 inches.
•
When transporting the chassis on a ramp, follow these guidelines:
–
Make sure that you have at least three people to transport the chassis up and down a ramp. One
person in the rear pushing, one person at the front pulling, and one steering the chassis.
–
The dolly is optimized to move the chassis on flat surfaces. It is not designed to move the chassis
on ramps greater than 1 inch of rise for every 6 inches of run. If the ramp exceeds this maximum
limit, consult with Cisco support.
–
Exercise extreme caution when moving chassis up an incline of any angle.
Caution
Use the recommended 180-degree configuration to transport a chassis. If the 90-degree
configuration is used, then the chassis is more likely to tip. Use caution and take extra care in
rolling the chassis up a ramp. Always follow proper safety practices whenever moving a Cisco
NCS 6008 chassis.
Warning
This dolly is designed only for the temporary transportation of the Cisco equipment listed here. Do not
use it with any other device or for any other purpose. Cisco equipment designed for use with the dolly:
Cisco NCS 6008 Chassis.
Statement 356
Warning
Do not permanently locate the equipment on the dolly. Safely store the dolly after use.
