Unpacking and Installing the Switch
To protect your switch components from damage, read all
unpacking recommendations and instructions carefully before
beginning.
Unpack your OmniSwitch 6900 chassis as close as possible to
the location where it will be installed.
Items Included
Your OmniSwitch 6900 includes the following items:
• OmniSwitch chassis with power supplies, per order
• Transceivers, per order
• Blank cover panels, if applicable
• Grounding wrist strap
• DB9-to-RJ-45 adapter
• RJ-45-to-USB console adapter
• Country-specific power cord(s)
Weight Considerations
The empty OmniSwitch 6900 chassis weighs approximately
17 lbs (7.7 kgs). When fully populated (i.e., with components
installed in all available chassis slots), the OmniSwitch 6900
can weigh up to approximately 25 lbs (11.3 kgs).
Lifting the Chassis
Lifting the chassis requires two people. When lifting, use the
recessed hand grip provided on the rear panel and the
reinforced area immediately under the front air intake plenum.
Note. Lifting the OmniSwitch 6900 chassis improperly
can cause personal injury and/or damage to the unit.
