Install the Router without Using a Mechanical Lift

If you cannot use a mechanical lift to lift the router into the rack, you can install it manually. First you need to reduce the weight by removing components from the chassis. The reduced chassis weight is approximately 180 lb (82 kg), so lifting it safely still requires three people to lift and one to insert the mounting screws.

Table 20 lists the weight of major components.          

Table 20: Chassis Component Weights

Component	Approximate Weight (lb)	Approximate Weight (kg)
Air filter	0.5	0.2
Cable management system	2	1
Fan tray	5	2
FPC with 4 PICs installed	3	1
Lower impeller assembly with craft interface	9	4
Power supply	20	9
Routing Engine housing	17	8
Upper impeller assembly	10	4
System Control Board (SCB)	1	0.5

To install the router without a mechanical lift, perform the procedures described in the following sections:

• Remove Components from the Chassis
• Install the Chassis into the Rack
• Reinstall Components into the Chassis
