Installing the replacement chassis

CAUTION

Use safe lifting practices when moving the product. (C015)

NOTE

A fully populated PowerConnect B-DCX-4S (four FC8-48 port cards, 192 ports) weighs approximately 68 kg (150 lbs)

and requires a hydraulic or assisted lift to install it.

NOTE

If the PowerConnect B-DCX-4S is installed in a cabinet, ensure that the cabinet is balanced and secured mechanically

and that the removal and installation procedure will not compromise cabinet stability.

1. If the chassis is in a cabinet, remove it from the cabinet, remove the rack mount hardware, and save the

hardware for use with the new chassis.

2. Place the chassis on a lift or on the shipping pallet provided with the original chassis.

3. Unpack the new chassis:

a. Cut the bands that encircle the packaging.

b. Remove the lid and the kits and foam from the top of the chassis.

Lift the cardboard box off the chassis and remove the plastic bag from around the chassis.

Save the packing materials for use when returning the old chassis.

d. Leave the chassis on top of the plastic shipping tray if the chassis must be transported to the installation

location.

NOTE

The PowerConnect B-DCX-4S packaging does not incorporate wood pallet and pallet brackets. The chassis sits

on top of plastic shipping tray.

4. Use a pallet jack or other assisted lift to transport the new chassis to the installation area. Doorways must be

wider than 91 cm (36 in.) to accommodate the chassis on the pallet.

5. Use a lift to raise the chassis to the correct level. If installing the chassis in a cabinet, follow the instructions

provided by the rack kit manufacturer.
