Lifting Guidelines

During installation, some lifting is required to set up the

equipment. Before installing the hardware, be certain that your

site is carefully located and prepared to accommodate power

sources and network connections.

Note

Once installed, the Hub and remote units are stationary. They

are not intended to be moved frequently.

Follow these guidelines when lifting:

1 Disconnect all external cables before lifting or moving the

chassis. Make sure the pathway is clear and free of equip-

ment and tools.

2 Do not attempt to lift the chassis alone. Two people are

required. Plan the move ahead of time, and make sure each

person has an escape path in case of an emergency.

3 Each person is required to grasp the chassis under the lower

edge and lift with both hands from the bottom. Ensure that

your footing is solid, and balance the weight of the object

between your feet evenly.

4 If you must bend down to lift the chassis, bend at the knees,

not at the waist. This reduces the strain on your back.

5 To prevent injury when you lift, keep your back straight and

lift with your legs, not your back. Lift the chassis slowly.

Never move suddenly or twist your body as you lift.

6 Place the chassis into a rack. Each person is required to

position the chassis by grasping the side with one hand and

the bottom with the other.

Note

We recommend that you lift the chassis with the power supply

removed. Use both hands to handle the chassis power supply.

Install the power supply on the rack before installing the

Hub IDU.
