Handling safety

CAUTION:
Do not hold the handle of the fan tray, power supply, or back cover of the chassis, or the air vents of
chassis. Any attempt to move the switch with these parts might cause equipment damage and even bodily
injury.
When you move the switch, follow these guidelines:
Remove all external cables, including the power cords, before moving the chassis.
Moving the chassis requires at least two persons, and you can use a mechanical lift as needed.
Lift and put down the chassis slowly and never move suddenly.
Hold the handles on the chassis.
