Lift the Chassis into the Rack
Lifting the chassis and mounting it in a rack is a three person lift process. The empty
chassis weighs approximately 150 lb (68.0 kg).
1.
Ensure the rack is in its permanent location and is secured to the building.
2.
Position the chassis in front of the rack or cabinet, centering it in front of the
mounting shelf. Use a pallet jack if one is available.
3.
With one person on each side and one person in the front, hold onto the bottom
of the chassis and carefully lift it onto the large and small (if installed) mounting
shelves.
4.
Slide the chassis onto the mounting shelves until the mounting brackets or
front-mounting flanges contact the rack rails. The shelves ensure that the holes
in the mounting brackets and the front-mounting flanges of the chassis align
with the holes in the rack rails.
5.
To install the chassis in an open-frame rack, install a mounting screw into each
of the open mounting holes aligned with the rack, starting from the bottom.
6.
Visually inspect the alignment of the chassis. If the chassis is installed properly
in the rack, all the mounting screws on one side of the rack should be aligned
with the mounting screws on the opposite side and the chassis should be level.
