Unpacking an array
Observe the following guidelines to ensure your safety. Failure to follow
these guidelines could result in bodily injury or damage to the array chassis
or components.
CAUTION! A fully populated AMS 2100/2300 base unit weighs
approximately 112 lbs (51 kg) and requires three or more people to
lift the array. Before lifting the unit, always turn off the power and
unplug all data and power cables.
An expansion unit weighs 88 lbs (40 kg). Use at least two people to
unpack and install an expansion unit.
Install the base unit at the bottom of the rack. If the array is mounted at
the top of the rack, the rack may become unstable and fall.
