Installing the Chassis on a Table
This section contains the procedure for installing the chassis on a table.
Note
The rubber feet on the bottom of the chassis should be left on for
table installation.
Note
Do not remove the shipping brace from the front of the chassis until
after the unit is placed on the table. You might bend the chassis and
cause misalignment of the slots and card guides if you lift the
chassis without the shipping brace.
Warning
Do not stack chassis on top of one another on a table because that
could present a personal safety hazard if you need to move or
replace units.
This procedure requires a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver.
To install the chassis on a table, perform the following procedure:
1. Review the procedure in “Selecting a Site for the SwitchBlade x3106”
on page 76 to verify that the selected site is suitable for the unit.
2. Check to be sure that the table is strong enough to support the weight
of the chassis. A fully loaded chassis can weigh more than 30 kg (67.1
lb).
3. Lift the chassis onto the table.
Warning
The chassis may be heavy and awkward to lift. Allied Telesis
recommends that you get assistance when placing the chassis on
the table. E30
4. Using a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the rack mount brackets
from the sides of the chassis. The brackets are not required for table
installation. This step is optional.
After placing the chassis on the table, go to “Removing the Shipping
Brace” on page 92.
