Installing Cisco SFS 3504 Server Switch Components
All cards and modules purchased with the original sales order are preinstalled in your Cisco SFS 3504
Server Switch before shipping. You can, if required, still add or replace these components before
mounting the Cisco SFS 3504 Server Switch chassis. Although we recommend that you install
components before you mount the Cisco SFS 3504 Server Switch, it is also possible to add or change
components after mounting the Cisco SFS 3504 Server Switch chassis in the rack. Instructions for
installing or replacing the components appear in
Chapter 4, “Installing and Removing Field-Replaceable
Units.”
Mounting the Cisco SFS 3504 Server Switch on a Rack
Warning
Two people are required to lift the chassis. Grasp the chassis underneath the lower edge and lift with
both hands. To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. To prevent
damage to the chassis and components, never attempt to lift the chassis with the handles on the
power supplies or on the interface processors, or by the plastic panels on the front of the chassis.
These handles were not designed to support the weight of the chassis.
