CAUTION:

If you are installing the PTX10003 above 60 in. (152.4 cm) from the floor, remove the power supplies and fan modules before attempting to install the device. Unless you are using a mechanical lift, at least three persons are required to perform the rack installation.

  • Before lifting or moving the PTX10003, disconnect all external cables.

  • When manually raising the PTX10003 into the rack, have two persons lift and align the PTX10003 with the rack while another person secures the device to the rack. As when lifting any heavy object, lift most of the weight with your legs rather than your back. Keep your knees bent and your back relatively straight and avoid twisting your body as you lift. Balance the load evenly and be sure that your footing is solid.
