Weight Considerations
The shipping weight of the chassis is approximately 226 lbs (102.5 kg). Please consider the following
recommendations before proceeding:
•
If available, use an equipment lift to move the chassis and position it into the rack/cabinet.
•
If a lift is not available, reduce the weight of the chassis by following the instructions in Reducing the
Weight of the Chassis Prior to Installation, on page 35.
•
Remove all obstructions in the path from the delivery location to the rack/cabinet.
•
At least two people should perform the installation. These individuals should be physically able to lift
and control the weight of the chassis.
•
When lifting any heavy object, remember to bend at the knees and lift with your legs. Bending at the
waist and lifting with your back could cause personal injury.
The ASR 5500 chassis is shipped with no circuit cards installed. Only the PFUs, fan trays and air filters
are installed. The circuit cards are shipped in separate cartons.
Important
If you are mounting two chassis in a single rack, verify that the rack is rated to handle the combined, fully
loaded weight of both chassis and any ancillary equipment.
Caution
Unpacking the Chassis
The ASR 5500 chassis is shipped on a palletized container.
The front and rear circuit cards are packaged and shipped in separate cartons.Important
Locate the packing list for the shipment and verify that all components have been received.Important
Safely store the shipping container and its components in case the chassis must be shipped to another site
or returned for repair.
Important
Move the Container to the Installation Site
Before unpacking the chassis, use a pallet jack to move the container as close to the final installation site as
possible. The cardboard cap and sleeve will protect the chassis from damage when moving the container.
