Unpacking the TX Matrix Router
The TX Matrix router is shipped in a wooden crate. A wooden pallet forms the base of the crate. The TX Matrix chassis is bolted to this pallet. Quick Start installation instructions and a cardboard accessory box are also included in the shipping crate.
The shipping crate measures 59 in. (150 cm) high, 30 in. (76.2 cm) wide, and 41 in. (104 cm) deep. The total weight of the crate containing the TX Matrix router and accessories can range from 650 lb (295 kg) to 700 lb (318 kg).
 | Note: The TX Matrix router is maximally protected inside the shipping crate. Do not unpack it until you are ready to begin installation. |
To unpack the TX Matrix router (see Figure 1):
- Move the shipping crate to a staging area as close to the installation site as possible, where you have enough room to remove the components from the chassis. While the chassis is bolted to the pallet, you can use a forklift or pallet jack to move it.
- Position the shipping crate with the arrows pointing up.
- Open all the latches on the shipping crate.
- Remove the front door of the shipping crate cover and set it aside.
- Slide the remainder of the shipping crate cover off the pallet.
- Remove the foam covering the top of the TX Matrix router.
- Remove the accessory box and the Quick Start documentation.
- Verify the parts received against the lists in TX Matrix Router Parts List and Accessory Box Parts List.
- Remove the vapor corrosion inhibitor (VCI) packs attached to the pallet, being careful not to break the VCI packs open.
- To remove the brackets holding the chassis on the pallet, use a 1/2-in. socket wrench and a number 2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the bolts and screws from the brackets.
- Store the brackets and bolts inside the accessory box.
- Save the shipping crate cover, pallet, and packing materials in case you need to move or ship the TX Matrix router at a later time.
