Overview of Installing a T1600 Router Using a Mechanical Lift

Because of the T1600 router's size and weight—up to 606 lb (275 kg) depending on the configuration—we strongly recommend that you install the router using a mechanical lift.

1. Verify that the mounting hardware has been installed as described in Installing the T1600 Mounting Hardware for an Open-Frame Rack or Installing the T1600 Mounting Hardware for a Four-Post Rack or Cabinet .
2. Remove the router from the shipping crate as described in Unpacking the T1600 Router.
