This section describes how to remove the router from the equipment rack. A fully-equipped router can weigh as much as 415 lb (188 kg). Because of the weight and height of the router, Cisco provides a rack-mounting system for the router that enables a team of two installers to extract a fully-loaded router from a rack without removing any of the components from the router chassis.

“Removing and Installing a DC-Input Power Shelf” section on page Removing Components from the Chassis to Reduce Weight A fully-equipped router can weigh as much as 415 lb (188 kg). To reduce the top-end weight of the chassis and lower the center of gravity, which might make the chassis more stable as you move it, you may choose to remove some of the components from the chassis.
• Detaching the Supplemental Bonding and Grounding Connection If your router has one or more bonding and grounding cables attached to any of the bonding and grounding receptacles on the chassis, you must detach these cable lugs from the chassis before you remove the chassis from the equipment rack.
Step 2 in the bottom of the rack, with the screw on the scissor-jack platform facing away from the front of the router and the back of the scissor-jack platform butted against the front of the rack-mounting platform. Use the 3/4-in (19-mm) socket and ratchet wrench to turn the scissor-jack screw...

Turn the scissor-jack screw slowly clockwise to collapse the scissor-jack platform Step 12 and raise the base of the scissor-jack platform until the weight of the router and scissor-jack platform is absorbed by the pallet. Continue turning the scissor-jack screw clockwise to close the scissor-jack platform and lift the base of the scissor-jack platform until the scissor-jack platform is completely closed (the screw can not be turned).
