Appendix G
Installing the Router Without a
Mechanical Lift
If you cannot use a mechanical lift to install the router (the preferred method), you
can install it manually. Before installing the router manually, you must first remove
components from the chassis, and you must reinstall the components once the router
is installed in the rack. At least two people are needed to safely lift the chassis into
the rack or cabinet. With components removed, the chassis weighs approximately
52.0 lb (23.6 kg).
Before installing the router in the rack, read the safety information in “Chassis-Lifting
Guidelines” on page 132. Remove the router from the shipping container as described
in “Unpacking the Router” on page 37. Install the mounting hardware as described
in “Installing the Mounting Hardware” on page 41.
