Packing an EX8200 Switch

If you need to transport the switch to another location or return the switch to Juniper Networks, you need to pack the switch securely in its original packaging to prevent damage during transportation.

Before you pack the switch:

1.Power off the switch. See “Powering Off an EX8200 Switch” on page 199.

2.Remove all wires, plugs, and power cords from the switch.

3.Remove all line cards and pack them in their original shipping containers. See “Packing a Line Card Used in an EX8200 Switch” on page 259.

4.Install cover panels over blank slots.

Leave components that came installed in the chassis in the chassis.

NOTE: Any line cards ordered with the switch are shipped separately. Do not pack any line cards with the switch.

Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to pack the switch:

•A 7/16-in. or 11-mm open-end or socket wrench to install the bracket bolts on the chassis and shipping pallet

•The original switch packing material (wooden pallet, cardboard box, accessory box and its contents, foam padding, and brackets and bracket bolts for attaching the chassis to the pallet)

•Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap

The EX8200 switch is shipped in a cardboard box that has a two-layer wooden pallet base with foam cushioning between the layers. The switch chassis is bolted to the pallet base with 4 pallet fasteners, 2 on each side of the chassis.

CAUTION: The switch is maximally protected inside the shipping box. Pack the switch only in its original shipping box, securely bolted to the original wooden shipping pallet.

Do not pack the switch in anything except its original container or the switch might be damaged in transit.
