Mounting safety precautions
The following precautions
specically apply to mounting the device.
DANGER
Mount the devices you install in a rack as low as possible. Place the heaviest device at the bottom and progressively place
lighter devices above.
DANGER
Make sure the rack housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable or falling over.
DANGER
Do not attempt to lift the Extreme Networks chassis. It is extremely heavy. Use a mechanical lifting device to lift the
chassis. Four or more people are required to position the unpopulated chassis into the rack.
CAUTION
Make sure the airow around the front, and back of the device is not
restricted.
CAUTION
Do not use the port cover tabs to lift the module. They are not designed to support the weight of the module, which can fall
and be damaged.
