Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation
Unpacking and Repacking the Router
Most data centers cannot resolve the infrequent but potentially catastrophic
problems just described without pulse meters and other special equipment. These
problems can cost a great deal of time to identify and resolve, so take precautions
by providing a properly grounded and shielded environment, with special
attention to issues of electrical surge suppression.
Unpacking and Repacking the Router
The shipping package for Cisco 12000 series routers is engineered to reduce the
potential of product damage associated with routine material handling
experienced during shipment. To minimize potential damage to the product,
transport these products in their Cisco-specified packaging. Failure to do so may
result in damage to the router or degradation of its performance. Also, do not
remove the Internet router from its shipping container until you are ready to install
it. The router should always be transported or stored in an upright position. Keep
the router in the shipping container until you have determined where you will
install it.
Refer to the unpacking instructions (Cisco 12006 and 12406 Router Unpacking
and Repacking Instructions document number 78-16104-xx) that came with the
router to unpack it from the shipping pallet and verify the contents. This document
also includes instructions to repack the router if you need to transport it.
If you do not receive everything you ordered, contact a customer service
representative for assistance. See the section titled, Obtaining Technical
Assistance, page -xx.
