NOTE
A fully populated Brocade DCX-4S (four FC8-48 port cards, 192 ports) weighs approximately
68 kg (150 lbs)
and
requires a hydraulic or assisted lift to install it.

a. Cut the bands that encircle the packaging.
b. Remove the lid and the kits and foam from the top of the chassis.
c. Lift the cardboard box off the chassis and remove the plastic bag from around the chassis.
Save the packing materials for use when returning the old chassis.
d. Leave the chassis on top of the plastic shipping tray if the chassis must be transported to the installation
location.
NOTE
The Brocade DCX-4S packaging does not incorporate a wood pallet and pallet brackets. The chassis sits on top
of a plastic shipping tray.
2. Use a pallet jack or other assisted lift to transport the new chassis to the installation area. Doorways must be
wider than 36 in. (91 cm) to accommodate the chassis.
3. Remove the Brocade DCX-4S port side exhaust kit, accessory kit, packing foam, and antistatic plastic from the
chassis and set aside.
4. Remove the chassis door from the Brocade DCX-4S.
