To pack the switch:
1. Follow instructions for preventing electric shock and electrostatic discharge.
See “Preventing Electric Shock” on page 13 and “Preventing Electrostatic
Discharge” on page 13.
2. Disconnect power from the switch by doing one of the following:
If the power source outlets have a power switch, set them to the OFF (0)
position.
If the power source outlets do not have power switches, gently pull out the
male end of the power cord from the power source outlet.
3. Remove the cables that connect the switch to all external devices.
4. Remove all transceivers from the switch, and install safety caps over open
ports. See “Installing and Removing an SFP+ Optical Transceiver” on page 21.
5. If the switch is installed on a wall or in a rack, have one person support the
weight of the switch while another person unscrews and removes the
mounting screws.
6. Cover the switch with an antistatic bag, and place packing foam on top of and
around the switch.
7. Place the switch in the shipping carton.
8. Place the power cords in the box.
9. Replace the accessory box containing the mounting brackets and hardware
shipped with the switch and the mini-USB serial cable on top of the packing
foam.
10. Securely tape the shipping carton closed.
11. Write the RMA number on the exterior of the carton to ensure proper tracking.
