Installing and Maintaining the E1200i System 23
This chapter provides instructions to rack mount your E1200i AC system into a standard 19-inch or
23-inch equipment rack. It contains the following sections:
• Unpacking the E1200i AC System
• Installing the Equipment Rack Shelf Bar
• Standard Front Chassis Mounting
• Installing the Chassis into an Equipment Cabinet
Unpacking the E1200i AC System
The E1200i AC system and components are shipped on a wooden pallet with Front Shipping cover.
Remove the chassis from the shipping packaging and move the chassis with a hand cart, pallet jack, or fork
lift to its rack. Do not unpack the power supplies, fan trays, air filter, or cards until the chassis is installed.
Chapter 4 Installing the AC Chassis
Warning: The E1200i AC shipping containers each weigh up to 400 pounds. The unpacked
chassis and pallet weigh approximately 200 pounds. Do not attempt to lift or move the chassis
without the use of a hand cart, pallet jack, or forklift.
Caution: Lift the E1200i AC chassis only with the handles provided or from the bottom. Lifting by
the chassis shelves will cause chassis damage. Do not remove the shipping cover during the
installation process. The cover prevents damage to the internal framework and EMI seals.
Warning: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur when components are mishandled.
Always wear an ESD-preventative wrist or foot-heal ground strap when handling RPMs, SFMs, or
line cards. After you remove the original packaging, place RPMs, SFMs, and line cards directly
into the chassis, or on an antistatic surface.
Warning: Complete the chassis installation into the rack before you install any other component
(fan trays, power supplies, line cards, RPMs, SFMs, cables).
