Uncrating the NetIron MLX-32 Chassis
Before uncrating the chassis, the site should be prepared as described in “Preparing the Installation Site” on
page 3-29. You will need the following tools:
•
A forklift or pallet jack to move the chassis while still on the pallet (at least 550-lb limit)
•
A mechanical lift (at least 350-lb limit) for moving the chassis off the pallet. The ideal configuration is a
counterweight base material lift with a metal lift plate installed in place of the forks. The metal plate should be
no wider than 17 inches, so that it will fit between the rack mount rails.
•
A strap to stabilize the chassis while being moved on the mechanical lift
•
A power drill
•
A large Phillips screwdriver attachment
•
A 7/16-inch socket wrench attachment
The NetIron MLX-32 chassis ships in a wooden crate, bolted to an inner pallet, and resting on an outer pallet. To
uncrate the chassis, do the following:
NOTE:
To uncrate the NetIron MLX-32 chassis, the crate must be in the upright (vertical) position.
1.
Position the crate so that you have access to the front and the rear. There must be enough space to the rear
of the pallet to slide and remove the crate.
2.
Use a power drill with Phillips and large blade screwdriver attachments to remove the bolts and screws that
hold the front shipping panel in place, as shown in Figure 3.24. Remove the front shipping panel and set it
aside.
