Removing a TCX1000-2D8CMD from a Rack
If you need to remove a TCX1000-2D8CMD to return it or relocate an installed TCX1000-2D8CMD, perform the following procedure.
When you remove multiple devices from a rack, remove the device in the top of the rack first and proceed to remove the rest of the devices from top to bottom to avoid toppling the rack.
This procedure requires two persons. Do not attempt to do it alone.
