Disassembling the enclosure
Before installing the enclosure into the rack, you must disassemble the enclosure. Because a fully-populated
enclosure can weigh up to 131.5 kg (290 lb), remove the components and the front cage from the enclosure
to make moving and installing the enclosure easier. Two people should work together to remove the front
cage from the enclosure.
The empty enclosure with the front cage installed weighs 52.9 kg (116.5 lb). When the enclosure is
disassembled, the empty enclosure without the front cage installed weighs 30.2 kg (66.5 lb). The empty front
cage weighs 22.7 kg (50 lb).
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, at least two people are
needed to safely move the enclosure or the front cage.
