To pack the platform for shipment, follow
this procedure:
- Retrieve the shipping crate and packing materials
in which the platform was originally shipped. If you do not have
these materials, contact your Juniper Networks representative about
approved packaging materials.
- Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap
to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to one of the ESD points
on the chassis.
- Shut down power to the platform by
pressing the power switch for all power supplies to the off (O) position. On both AC and DC power supplies, the switch is located on the power supply faceplate.
- Disconnect power from the platform.
- Remove the cables that connect to all external devices.
See the removal procedure for each component.
- Remove all field replaceable units (FRUs) from
the platform.
- Remove the platform from the rack:
- If you are using a mechanical lift, place the lift platform
under the platform, unscrew and remove the mounting screws from
the rack, and move the platform to the shipping crate.
- If you are not using a mechanical lift and the platform weight
is fully supported by a shelf or another platform, unscrew and
remove the mounting screws from the rack. Three people
can then lift the platform and move it to the shipping crate.
- If you are not using a mechanical lift and the platform weight is not
fully supported by a shelf or another platform, three people should grasp
the platform while a fourth person unscrews and removes the mounting screws
from the rack. The three lifters can then move the platform to the shipping
crate.
- Place the platform in the shipping
crate or onto the pallet. If on a pallet, bolt the platform to
the pallet.
- Cover the platform with an ESD bag and place
the packing foam on top of and around the platform.
- Replace the accessory box on top of the packing
foam.
- Securely tape the box closed or place the crate
cover over the platform.
- Write the RMA number on the exterior of the box
to ensure proper tracking.
