Pack the Router for Shipment

To pack the router for shipment, follow this procedure:

1. Retrieve the shipping box and packing materials in which the router was originally shipped.
2. On the console or other management device connected to the Routing Engine, enter CLI operational mode and issue the following command to shut down the router software cleanly and preserve Routing Engine state information.
   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 Internet Software Operational Mode Command Reference: Protocols, Class of Service, Chassis, and Management.

3. Shut down power to the router by pressing the power switch for both power supplies to the OFF (O) position. On both AC and DC power supplies, the switch is located on the power supply faceplate.
4. Disconnect power from the router. For instructions, see Disconnect AC Power from the Router or Disconnect DC Power from the Router.
5. Remove the cables that connect to all PICs and external devices. For instructions, see Replace Connectors to Routing Engine Interface Ports and Remove a PIC.
6. Remove the chassis from the rack:
   • If you are using a mechanical lift, place the lift platform under the chassis, unscrew and remove the mounting screws from the rack, and move the chassis to the shipping box.
   • If you are not using a mechanical lift and the chassis weight is fully supported by a shelf or another chassis, unscrew and remove the mounting screws from the rack. Two people can then lift the chassis and move it to the shipping box.
   • If you are not using a mechanical lift and the chassis weight is not fully supported by a shelf or another chassis, two people should grasp the router while a third person unscrews and removes the mounting screws from the rack. The two lifters can then move the chassis to the shipping box.
7. Place the chassis in the shipping box.
8. Replace the packing foam on top of the chassis.
9. Replace the accessory box on top of the packing foam.
10. Securely tape the box closed.
