Transporting a Cisco XR 12000 Series Router

The shipping package for Cisco XR 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 a location for installation.

Site Preparation Checklist

The Cisco XR 12406 Router comes with a site log. Keep this in a common place near the router where anyone who performs tasks can have access to it. Site log entries might include the following:

•Installation progress—Make entries in the site log to record installation. Note any difficulties encountered and their remedies during the installation process.

•Upgrades and removal/replacement procedures—Use the site log as a record of system maintenance and expansion history, for example:

–FRU installed, removed, or replaced

–Configuration changes

–Software upgrades

–Corrective or preventive maintenance procedures performed

–Intermittent problems

–Your comments

Table 2-2 shows a sample site log. You can make copies of the sample or design your own site log.
