The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Before installing the LCC, it must be received at your shipping dock or other delivery location. This section provides the specifications that your shipping and receiving team may find useful prior to delivery of the LCC.
The two most important factors in planning for the delivery of the LCC are the chassis dimensions and weights (both packaged and unpackaged). The table below provides the dimensions and weight of a packaged LCC. Table 2 provides the dimensions and weight of an unpackaged LCC.
Weight |
338 lb (153.3 kg)—Chassis including packaging and pallet |
---|---|
Dimensions |
Height: 42 in. (106.6 cm) Width: 24.5 in. (62.2 cm) Length: 39.75 in. (100.9 cm) |
Weight |
260 lb (118 kg)—As shipped with fan tray, power shelf, and card slot blanks 380 lb (172 kg)—Total weight with all SFCs, MSCs, PLIMs, and RPs installed |
---|---|
Dimensions |
Height: 30 in. (76.2 cm) Width: 17.65 in. (44.8 cm)—Without cosmetics Depth: 30.28 in. (76.9 cm) |
To unpack the chassis, you need space, tools, and sufficient manpower. Use the specifications in Table 1 to determine how much space and manpower you need to unpack a packaged chassis.
The following tools are required to unpack the chassis:
Note | Removing the packaging prior to moving the Cisco CRS 4-slot LCC is optional. The packaging can be removed either at the loading dock or at the installation site. However, we recommend unpacking the chassis at the installation site (if feasible) to reduce the possibility of damage to the chassis. |
The LCC is shipped on a pallet and arrives inside a polyethylene bag enclosed in a box, held in place by plastic bands (see the below figure). For complete details on the contents of each crate, see the shipping and parts identification label on the crate.
Caution | Do not stack the LCC shipping crate, becaue serious damage to the chassis can occur. |
Consider the following as you plan for unpacking the chassis:
As with unpacking, moving the LCC from the loading dock requires space, tools, and manpower. Use the specifications in Table 1 and Table 2 to determine how much space and manpower you will need to move the chassis.
The following tools are required to move the chassis:
When planning your LCC installation, you must consider how the chassis will be moved from the shipping dock to the site where the chassis is to be installed. This section provides information about the things to consider as you plan for transportation of the chassis from the loading dock to the installation site.
The line card chassis is shipped in a crate that reduces the potential for product damage during routine material handling and shipment. To protect the chassis:
Consider the route you intend to use to move the chassis from the loading dock to the installation site. See Table 1 for the minimum hallway, aisle, and doorway clearances required to accommodate the chassis.
Before you attempt to move the chassis to the installation site, we recommend that you check the proposed transport route and note any areas of concern. It might also be useful to create a diagram of the route you plan to take from the loading dock to the installation site.
Note | We recommend that at least two people move the chassis from the shipping dock to the installation site. |
If you plan to use a forklift or similar moving device (such as a safety hand truck or pallet jack) to move the chassis, consider the following:
It must be capable of preventing the chassis from tipping. For example, you could use a safety hand truck with retractable safety leg wheels and a security strap.
We recommend that you leave the chassis in its shipping crate and pallet for moving.
Make sure that the moving device can support the weight of the chassis and its shipping crate (see Table 1).
Make sure that hallways and doorways (including elevators) are high and wide enough for the shipping crates and moving device. See Table 1 for packaged chassis dimensions.
Before moving the chassis, it is critical that you verify that the path that you are planning to use to move the chassis to its final location can accommodate the chassis size and weight and the restrictions of the chassis when using the moving device.
See the table below for a list of the restrictions for your move path, and verify that you have sufficient room for the entire move path prior to moving the chassis.
