Chassis Lifting Guidelines for EX3200 and EX4200 Switches

The weight of a fully loaded EX3200 or EX4200 switch chassis is approximately 22 lb (10 kg). Observe the following guidelines for lifting and moving an EX3200 or EX4200 switch:

  • Before installing an EX3200 or EX4200 switch, read the guidelines in Site Preparation Checklist for EX3200 and EX4200 Switches to verify that the intended site meets the specified power, environmental, and clearance requirements.
  • Before lifting or moving the EX3200 or EX4200 switch, disconnect all external cables.
  • As when lifting any heavy object, lift most of the weight with your legs rather than your back. Keep your knees bent and your back relatively straight and avoid twisting your body as you lift. Balance the load evenly and be sure that your footing is solid.
