Lifting Guidelines
A fully configured router can weigh as much as 275 pounds (lb)
(124.74 kilograms (kg)), while an empty chassis weighs 125 lb (56.7 kg). These
systems are not intended to be moved frequently. Before you install the router,
ensure that your site is properly prepared so you can avoid having to move the
router later to accommodate power sources and network connections.
Use the following lifting guidelines to avoid injury to yourself or damage to the
equipment:
• Do not lift equipment alone; have another person help you to lift heavy
equipment.
• Ensure that your footing is solid; balance the weight of the object between
your feet.
• Lift the equipment slowly; never move suddenly or twist your body as you
lift.
• Keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. When bending
down to lift equipment, bend at the knees (not at the waist), to reduce the
strain on your lower back muscles.
Caution To prevent equipment damage, never attempt to lift or tilt the router chassis using
the handles on the blower module or on line cards. These handles do not support
the weight of the chassis.
