Removing the Router from the Rack
This section describes how to remove the router from the equipment rack.
A fully-equipped router can weigh as much as 415 lb (188 kg). Because of the
weight and height of the router, Cisco provides a rack-mounting system for the
router that enables a team of two installers to extract a fully-loaded router from a
rack without removing any of the components from the router chassis. For
information on the router rack-mounting system, refer to “A fully equipped router
with an optional two-level AC-input power shelf can weigh as much as
440 pounds (200 kg). The router ships on a scissor-jack platform that enables two
people to install a fully loaded router into a rack without removing any of the
components from the chassis.” section on page 3-2.
Note As an option, you can elect to remove some of the components from the chassis
to reduce the top-end weight of the chassis and lower the center of gravity, making
the chassis more stable as you move it. The procedures for removing components
are described in the “Unpacking and Positioning the Router” section on page 3-3.
Procedures in the following sections describe the steps for removing the chassis
from the equipment rack:
• Powering Down the Router, page A-7
