Enclosure Installation
Chapter Summary
This chapter contains instructions for installing an MGX 8230 as a stand-alone unit or in a rack. Due to
the weight of the equipment, a mechanical lift should be used to install the MGX 8230 chassis.
Note
Use of a lift greatly simplifies the installation process since the cards and power supplies do not need
to be removed.

Mechanical Lift Guidelines
•
The lift should be capable of handling 300lbs.
•
A sample lift is the T & S Hefti-Lift, Model HYD-5. For specifications, see
http://www.tseq.com/products/ergosol/hefti-lift.htm.
•
The minimum platform dimensions are 175” wide by 24” deep.
If a mechanical lift is not available, the cards and power supplies must be removed so the chassis can be
lifted into the rack. This section contains instructions for installations with or without a mechanical lift.
