Contact Customer Support to Obtain a Return Material Authorization

If you need to return a device or hardware component to Juniper Networks for repair or replacement, obtain a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number from Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center (JTAC). You must obtain an RMA number before you attempt to return the component.

After locating the serial number of the device or hardware component you want to return, open a service request with the Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center (JTAC) on the Web or by telephone.

Before you request an RMA number from JTAC, be prepared to provide the following information:

  • Your existing service request number, if you have one

  • Serial number of the component

  • Your name, organization name, telephone number, fax number, and shipping address

  • Details of the failure or problem

  • Type of activity being performed on the device when the problem occurred

  • Configuration data displayed by one or more show commands

You can contact JTAC 24 hours a day, seven days a week on the Web or by telephone:

Note:

For international or direct-dial options in countries without toll free numbers, see https://support.juniper.net/support.

If you are contacting JTAC by telephone, enter your 12-digit service request number followed by the pound (#) key for an existing case, or press the star (*) key to be routed to the next available support engineer.

The support representative validates your request and issues an RMA number for return of the component.

Tools and Parts Required to Remove Components from a PTX5000

To remove components from the PTX5000 or the PTX5000 from a rack, you need the following tools and parts:

  • 2.5-mm flat-blade (–) screwdriver, for detaching alarm relay terminal block

  • 7/16-in. (11-mm) nut driver

  • Blank panels to cover empty slots

  • Electrostatic bag or antistatic mat, for each component

  • Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding wrist strap

  • Flat-blade (–) screwdriver

  • Mechanical lift (for the chassis)

  • Phillips (+) screwdrivers, numbers 1 and 2

  • Rubber safety cap for fiber-optic interfaces and cable

  • Wire cutters

Packing the PTX5000 for Shipment

To pack the PTX5000 for shipment:

  1. Retrieve the shipping crate and packing materials in which the PTX5000 was originally shipped. If you do not have these materials, contact your Juniper Networks representative about approved packaging materials.
  2. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
  3. On the console or other management device connected to the primary Routing Engine, enter CLI operational mode. To power off the PTX5000, see Powering Off the PTX5000.
  4. Disconnect power from the PTX5000. For instructions, see the procedure to disconnect power inReplacing a PTX5000 120-A DC PDU.
  5. Remove the cables that connect to all external devices..
  6. Remove all Field Replaceable Units (FRUs) from the PTX5000.
  7. Remove the PTX5000 from the rack. Place the mechanical lift platform under the router, unscrew and remove the mounting screws from the rack, and move the router to the shipping crate.
  8. Place the PTX5000 in the shipping crate or onto the pallet. If on a pallet, bolt the router to the pallet.
  9. Cover the PTX5000 with an ESD bag and place the packing foam on top of and around the router.
  10. Replace the accessory box on top of the packing foam.
  11. Securely tape the box closed or place the crate cover over the PTX5000.
  12. Write the RMA number on the exterior of the box to ensure proper tracking.

Packing PTX5000 Components for Shipment

To pack and ship individual components:

  • When you return components, make sure they are adequately protected with packing materials and packed so that the pieces are prevented from moving around inside the carton.

  • Use the original shipping materials if they are available.

  • Place individual boards in electrostatic bags.

  • Write the RMA number on the exterior of the box to ensure proper tracking.

CAUTION:

Do not stack any of the PTX5000 components.
