System Unpacking Overview
When it is packaged for shipment, the router is equipped as ordered, with all components installed. Because of the weight and height of the router, the router shipping pallet incorporates a scissor-jack platform that enables a team of two installers to remove a fully loaded router from the pallet and insert it into an equipment rack, or extract a fully loaded router from a rack, without removing any of the components from the chassis.
The router is bagged to protect it against dust and electrostatic discharge (ESD) and secured to the scissor-jack platform by four anchor clips. The anchor clips are inserted into slots along the bottom edges of the chassis side panels and secured to the scissor-jack platform by four bolts. In turn, the scissor-jack platform is secured to the shipping pallet by eight hold-down brackets that are bolted to the top of the shipping pallet.
Note The scissor-jack platform remains attached to the router until the router is inserted into the equipment rack. After the router is inserted in the rack, the scissor-jack platform should be reinstalled on the shipping pallet. The entire shipping container should be reassembled and stored.
