For more details on site preparation, refer to “Preparing Your Site for Installation” chapter in the 

Cisco 

.

The Cisco RFGW-10 UEQAM is shipped with all ordered (configured) components installed in the 
chassis. A fully configured Cisco RFGW-10 UEQAM (configured for redundancy support, including 10 
RF line cards) weighs approximately 275 lbs. The chassis alone weighs 91 lbs. The chassis with the fan 
tray, TCC cards, and all RF switch cards weighs 138 lbs. It is not recommended that the Cisco RFGW-10 
system be installed with all components in the system.

In a fully loaded chassis, the removable components (modules, line cards) weigh approximately 184 lbs. 
To enable two people to install the system safely, we recommend that the following components be 
removed from the chassis before installing the chassis in the rack:

Fan assembly (13.0 lbs— optional, it is recommended to leave this installed)

DC power supplies (15.5 lbs each)

Supervisor cards (5.5 lbs each)

TCC cards (2.0 lbs each)

RF switch cards (2.5 lbs— optional, given the quantity and total weight contribution of these cards)

RF line cards (9.5 lbs each)

You must use a hydraulic lift or forklift to move a fully populated chassis.

Rack-mounting is the preferred method of installation for the Cisco RFGW-10 UEQAM. You can mount 
the chassis:

Front mount or mid mount

In a 19 inch wide (standard), four-post equipment rack or two-post, using the rack-mount brackets 
in the accessory kit

The Cisco RFGW-10 UEQAM usually ships fully loaded. It is recommended that you remove the 
components from the chassis to make the chassis lighter for your rack installation. It is recommended to 
remove the two DC PEMs, the two Supervisor Cards, and the 10 Universal RF Line Cards.
