Juniper Networks MX480 - Manual (Page 353)

Packing the MX480 Router for Shipment
To pack the router for shipment:
1. Retrieve the shipping crate and packing materials in which the router was originally
shipped. If you do not have these materials, contact your Juniper Networks
representative about approved packaging materials.
2. On the console or other management device connected to the master Routing Engine,
enter CLI operational mode and issue the following command to shut down the router
software. (If two Routing Engines are installed, also issue the command on the backup
Routing Engine.)
user@host> request system halt
Wait until a message appears on the console confirming that the operating system
has halted.
For more information about the command, see the Junos OS Operational Mode
Commands.
3. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect
the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
4. Shut down power to the router by pressing the AC input switch or DC circuit breaker
for all power supplies to the off (
O ) position.
5. Disconnect power from the router.
6. Remove the cables that connect to all external devices.
7. Remove all field replaceable units (FRUs) from the router.
8. Remove the router from the rack:
• If you are using a mechanical lift, place the lift platform under the router, unscrew
and remove the mounting screws from the rack, and move the router to the shipping
crate.
• If you are not using a mechanical lift and the router weight is fully supported by a
shelf or another router, unscrew and remove the mounting screws from the rack.
Three people can then lift the router and move it to the shipping crate.
• If you are not using a mechanical lift and the router weight is not fully supported by
a shelf or another router, three people should grasp the router while a fourth person
unscrews and removes the mounting screws from the rack. The three lifters can
then move the router to the shipping container.
9. Place the router in the shipping crate or onto the pallet. If on a pallet, bolt the router
to the pallet.
10. Cover the router with an ESD bag and place the packing foam on top of and around
the router.
11. Replace the accessory box on top of the packing foam.
