Chapter 1 Unpacking and Installing the CSS
Safety Guidelines
• The DC-powered CSS 11503 and CSS 11506 are not shipped with the wiring
required to connect to the DC source. You must provide input, return, and
earth (grounding) wiring at the site (refer to Chapter 2, Cabling and
Troubleshooting the CSS), and install and protect the wiring in accordance
with local and national wiring regulations.
• The CSS operates safely when it is used in accordance with its marked
electrical ratings and product usage instructions.
Warning
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or replace this
equipment.
Chassis-Lifting Guidelines for the CSS 11503 and CSS 11506
The fully-configured CSS 11503 weighs approximately 34 pounds. The
fully-configured CSS 11506 weighs approximately 58 pounds. The chassis is not
intended to be moved frequently. Before you install the CSS, ensure that your site
is properly prepared; by doing so, you can avoid moving the chassis later to
accommodate power sources and network connections.
When lifting either the CSS 11503 or CSS 11506 chassis, follow these guidelines:
• Two or more people are required to lift the CSS 11506 chassis (as described
in the procedure at the end of this section). Never attempt to lift the chassis
by yourself. Because of the size and weight of the chassis, use at least two
people to safely lift and move it; by doing so, you can avoid causing injury or
damaging the equipment.
• When lifting a chassis, ensure that your footing is solid, and balance the
weight of the chassis between your feet.
• Lift the chassis slowly; never move suddenly or twist your body as you lift.
• Keep your back straight and lift the chassis with your legs, not your back. If
you must bend down to lift the chassis, bend at the knees, not at the waist, to
reduce the strain on your back muscles.
• If you remove the fan assembly and power modules to lighten the chassis, be
sure to provide anti-static mats or bags to protect the removed components.
Be careful when you remove the power modules—they are heavy.
