Complete Hardware Guide for EX8208 Ethernet Switches

To pack the switch (see Figure 112 on page 258):

1.Move the wooden pallet and packing material to a staging area as close to the switch as possible. Make sure there is enough space to move the chassis from the rack or cabinet to the wooden pallet.

2.Remove the switch from the rack or cabinet. For EX8208 switches, see “Removing an EX8208 Switch from a Rack or Cabinet Using a Mechanical Lift” on page 202 or “Removing an EX8208 Switch from a Rack or Cabinet Without Using a Mechanical Lift” on page 203). For EX8216 switches, see Removing an EX8216 Switch from a Rack or Cabinet.

Move the chassis to the shipping pallet (see “Chassis Lifting Guidelines for EX8200 Switches” on page 276). Position the switch on the pallet so that the front of the switch is facing the silkscreened “front” mark on the pallet. The pallet also has crop marks to guide you in positioning the chassis.

3.Use the 7/16-in. or 11-mm open-end or socket wrench to install the four sets of brackets and bolts that secure the chassis to the wooden pallet.

4.Slide the plastic cover over the switch chassis. The plastic cover is part of the switch’s original packing materials.

5.Replace the foam padding on top of the chassis.

6.Place the power cords in the box.

7.Remove the adjustable mounting brackets from the rack or cabinet and place them and their connecting screws in the accessory box.

8.Place the accessory box in its slot in the foam padding. See “Parts Inventory (Packing List) for an EX8208 Switch” on page 130 or Parts Inventory (Packing List) for an EX8216 Switch to verify that you have included all the proper contents of the accessory box.

9.Slide the cardboard box over the chassis, making sure that the arrows on the box point up and the pallet fasteners to secure the cardboard box to the wooden pallet are near the bottom.

10.Attach the cardboard box to the wooden pallet using the four pallet fasteners attached to the pallet. See Figure 111 on page 257. Squeeze together the two ridges (“fins”) in the depression in each pallet fastener, then slide each fastener into its corresponding slot in the cardboard box and release the ridges to secure the latch.
