Removing a vertical frame from the pallet
Remove a vertical NEBS 2000 frame from the shipping pallet after removing
the packaging requires. Remove a vertical frame from the pallet directly onto
the device for moving the frame to where it is to be anchored.
Prerequisites
• You must be familiar with “Safety considerations and best practices”
(page 53).
• You need three helpers to assist tilting the frame off of the pallet. A frame
with two switches in it is top heavy and can fall over if tilted too much.
Procedure steps
1 Latch any cards inside the shelf that may have become unlatched. Ensure
that you latch each card to the transportation position. Refer to the figures
“Upper transportation pockets for card latches” (page 696) and “Lower
transportation pockets for card latches” (page 697).
2 Remove the plastic sheet around the frame by cutting it. Since the foam
padding is attached to the plastic, put it aside for re-use later.
3 Undo the four 14-mm (9/16-in.) screws in the pallet that fasten the frame-
to-pallet shipping brackets.
4 Remove the shipping brackets from the frame feet. Gently tap with a
hammer if required.
5 If the frame has panels fastened over the sides, remove one by prying the
8 screw caps off and unfastening the screws. Put the panel, caps, and
screws aside for re-use later.
WARNING
Risk of injury when handling a frame
Never place a foot or a hand under any part of the frame
while it is being tilted or moved. Always move it with at
least four people. The weight of a shipped frame with one
Passport 15000 or 20000 switch is approximately from
330 kg (730 lbs) to 355 kg (780 lbs); with two switches
the weight is from approximately 480 kg (1052 lbs) to
490 kg (1076 lbs). For additional protection, wear safety
boots with steel toes and gripping soles.
