Weight Considerations
The shipping weight of the chassis is approximately 226 lbs (102.5 kg). Please consider the following recommendations
before proceeding:
before proceeding:
If available, use an equipment lift to move the chassis and position it into the rack/cabinet.
Remove all obstructions in the path from the delivery location to the rack/cabinet.
At least two people should perform the installation. These individuals should be physically able to lift and
control the weight of the chassis.
When lifting any heavy object, remember to bend at the knees and lift with your legs. Bending at the waist and
lifting with your back could cause personal injury.
Important:
The ASR 5500 chassis is shipped with no circuit cards installed. Only the PFUs, fan trays and air
filters are installed. The circuit cards are shipped in separate cartons.
Caution:
If you are mounting two chassis in a single rack, verify that the rack is rated to handle the combined,
fully loaded weight of both chassis and any ancillary equipment.
