Removing installed components from the chassis
Skip this section and see Using a mechanical lift to move the chassis if you are using a mechanical lift for
all chassis movement and mounting steps.
After removing the power supplies, line modules, and fan trays as described completing the preceding
actions, the switch weight is sufficiently reduced for carrying by four people.
IMPORTANT: Fully populated Aruba 6400 switches weigh up to:
• 6405: 61 kg (133 lbs)
• 6410: 100 kg (219 lbs)
If you are manually moving the switch, or if the configured weight exceeds the lift capacity, then
use the steps in this section to reduce the weight of the switch for safe manual moves.
CAUTION: To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to switch components, follow these
guidelines:
• Prepare an ESD-safe area to receive the removed components.
• Always wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it is reliably grounded when installing or
removing modules or other components. For information on how to use an ESD wrist strap,
see Grounding.
• Hold modules by their edges. Do not touch any electronic components or printed circuit.
• Store uninstalled modules in antistatic bags for future use.
The following sections list the steps for removing chassis components.
