Packing a Switch for Shipping
To pack a switch for shipping:
1. On the console or other management device connected to the switch, enter the CLI
operational mode and issue the following command to shut down the switch software:
user@switch> request system halt
Wait until a message appears on the console confirming that the operating system
has halted.
2. Disconnect power from the switch by performing one of the following:
• If the power source outlet has a power switch, set it to the OFF (0) position.
• If the power source outlet does not have a power switch, gently pull out the male
end of the power cord connected to the power source outlet.
3. Remove the cables that connect the switch to all external devices. See “Disconnecting
a Fiber-Optic Cable from an EX Series Switch” on page 97.
4. Remove all optical transceivers installed in the switch. See “Removing a Transceiver
from an EX Series Switch” on page 95.
5. If the switch is mounted on a wall or on two posts, have one person support the weight
of the switch while another person unscrews and removes the mounting screws.
6. Use the Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2 to remove the screws.
7. Remove the switch from the wall, rack, cabinet, or desk and place the switch in an
antistatic bag.
8. Slip on the end caps of the packaging foam on both sides of the switch.
9. Place the switch in the shipping carton.
10. Place the packing foam on top of and around the switch.
11. If you are returning accessories or FRUs with the switch, pack them as instructed in
“Packing Switch Components for Shipping” on page 109.
12. Close the top of the cardboard carton and seal it with packing tape.
13. Write the RMA number on the exterior of the carton to ensure proper tracking.
Packing Switch Components for Shipping
To pack and ship switch components:
• Place individual components in antistatic bags.
• Ensure that the components are adequately protected with packing materials and
packed so that the pieces are prevented from moving around inside the carton.
