Chassis Lifting Guidelines for EX4500 Switches

The weight of a fully loaded EX4500 switch is approximately 37 lb (17 kg). Observe the following guidelines for lifting and moving the switch:

  • Before moving the switch to a site, ensure that the site meets the power, environmental, and clearance requirements specified in the Site Preparation Checklist for EX4500 Switches.
  • Before lifting or moving the switch, disconnect all external cables and wires.
  • As when lifting any heavy object, ensure that most of the weight is borne by your legs rather than your back. Keep your knees bent and your back relatively straight. Do not twist your body as you lift. Balance the load evenly and be sure that your footing is firm.
