Unpack the Router

The router is shipped in a wooden crate and bolted to the pallet that forms the bottom of the crate. The crate also contains an accessory box, the handle used during manual router installation, and the M40 Internet Router Installation Quick Start poster.    


The router is maximally protected inside the shipping crate. Do not unpack it until you are ready to begin installation.


To unpack the system, follow these steps:

  1. Move the shipping crate to a staging area as close to the installation site as possible, but where you have enough room to remove the system components. While the chassis is bolted to the pallet, you can use a forklift to move it.
  2. Position the crate so that the arrows are pointing up.
  3. Open the top flaps on the crate.
  4. Remove the accessory box (see Figure 22).
  5. Open the accessory box and verify the contents against the parts inventory on the label attached to the box.
  6. Lift the crate off the pallet.

Figure 22: Contents of the Shipping Crate
  1. Verify the chassis components received against the packing list included with the router. A generic parts inventory appears in Table 19. If any part is missing, contact a customer service representative.
  2. Use a 9/16-in. open-end or socket wrench to loosen and remove the bolts on the brackets that attach the chassis to the pallet. If a 9/16-in. tool is not available, use pliers or an adjustable wrench rather than a fixed-size metric wrench.
  3. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screws that secure the brackets to the sides of the chassis, and remove the brackets. Store the brackets, screws, and bolts inside the accessory box.
  4. Save the shipping crate, packing materials, and pallet in case you later need to move or ship the router.
  5. Proceed to Install the Router and Configure Software to continue with the installation.
