Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7507 Unpacking Instructions

Product Numbers: CISCO 7507, CHAS-7507, MAS-7507, CISCO 7000, MAS-7K, and CHAS-7K

This document contains important instructions for unpacking the Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7507. This unpacking procedure is identical for both chassis, so for convenience, the Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7507 are referred to as the chassis, with any differences clearly noted. Review these instructions before you open the container. Keep the chassis in the shipping crate until the site is ready, then use a hand cart, pallet jack, or forklift to move the shipping container to the installation site. Note the outer container dimensions on the following illustration to ensure clearance through doors. After you unpack the chassis, refer to the Cisco 7000 Hardware Installation or Cisco 7507 Hardware Installation publication on UniverCD or in print for installation instructions.

When lifting the chassis, follow these precautions to avoid injury to yourself and/or damage to the equipment:

Two people are required to lift the chassis, one at each end or each side.
When lifting the front of the chassis, grasp the metal underside of the chassis body behind the plastic panel. The lower plastic snap-off panel will not support the weight of the chassis and can pull away, allowing the chassis to drop.
Keep your back straight; lift with your legs.
Always remove all power supplies before lifting the chassis. The chassis weighs approximately 100 pounds without power supplies and with 7 interface processors installed.
Use a hand cart, pallet jack, or forklift to move the chassis to another location
Note the dimensions of the shipping container before moving it to ensure you have adequate clearance through doors and passages

Before moving the chassis to a permanent site, we recommend that you review the site, safety, and environmental considerations provided in the Cisco 7000 Hardware Installation and Maintenance or Cisco 7507 Hardware Installation and Maintenance publication on UniverCD in print.

Do not destroy the shipping containers. Flatten and store them with the pallet and Corro clips. Use these containers to transport the chassis or, if necessary, to return it to the factory.
