Juniper Networks EX8208 manual Pallet Fastener

Chapter 8: Installing the Switch

To unpack the switch (see Figure 39 on page 128 and Figure 40 on page 129):

1.Move the shipping box to a staging area as close to the installation site as possible. For an EX8208 switch, make sure there is enough space to remove components from the chassis if necessary (for example, if you do not have a mechanical lift to use when you install the switch). While the chassis is bolted to the pallet, you can use a forklift or pallet jack to move it.

2.Position the shipping box with the arrows pointing up.

3.Open the four pallet fasteners near the bottom of the shipping box that attach the cardboard box to the wooden pallet. To open a pallet fastener, squeeze together the two ridges (“fins”) in the depression in the latch, then slide the pallet fastener out of the cardboard box slot in which it is inserted. See Figure 38 on page 127.

4.Carefully slice open the tape that holds the top of the cardboard box closed and open the top of the box.

5.Remove the cardboard accessory box from the center of the foam padding.

6.Remove the foam padding from the top of the box.

7.Slide the cardboard box off the pallet.

8.Remove the plastic cover from the switch chassis.

9.Use a 7/16-in. or 11-mm open-end or socket wrench to remove the four sets of bracket bolts that secure the chassis to the shipping pallet.

10.Unpack the accessory box and lay out the contents so that they are ready for use.

11.Verify that your order includes all appropriate parts. See “Parts Inventory (Packing List) for an EX8208 Switch” on page 130 and Parts Inventory (Packing List) for an EX8216 Switch.

12.Store the brackets and bolts inside the accessory box.

13.Save the shipping box, pallet, and packing materials in case you need to move or ship the switch at a later time.
