Unpacking the Equipment

Follow these guidelines when lifting the switch chassis.

  • Disconnect all power and external cables before lifting the switch.
  • Ensure that your footing is solid and the weight of the switch is evenly distributed between your feet.
  • Lift the switch slowly, keeping your back straight. Lift with your legs, not with your back. Bend at the knees, not at the waist.

Compare the shipment to the equipment list provided by your customer service representative and verify that you have received all items, including the following:

  • Grounding lug kit
  • Rack-mount rail-kit
  • ESD wrist strap
  • Cables with connectors
  • Any optional items ordered

Check for damage and report any discrepancies or damage to your customer service representative.
