3. Remove all line cards and pack them in their original shipping containers. See “Packing an MX10008
Router or Component for Shipping” on page 306.
4. Install covers over empty slots.
Leave components that came installed in the chassis in the chassis, such as the Control Boards or power
supplies.
5. Move the wooden pallet and packing material to a staging area as close to the router as possible. Make
sure there is enough space to move the chassis from the rack to the wooden pallet.
6. Position a mechanical lift under the device. If a mechanical lift is not available, have three people support
the weight of the router while another person uses the screwdriver to remove the front mounting
screws that attach the chassis mounting brackets to the rack. For MX10008 removal, see “Removing
an MX10008 Router From a Four-Post Rack Using a Mechanical Lift” on page 275 or “Manually Removing
an MX10008 Router from a 4-Post Rack” on page 276. .
7. Remove the router from the rack (see “MX10008 Chassis Lifting Guidelines” on page 319) and place the
router on the shipping pallet. Position the router on the pallet so that the front of the router is facing
the silkscreened “front” mark on the pallet. The pallet also has crop marks to guide you in positioning
the chassis
8. Use the 13/32-in. or 10-mm open-end or socket wrench to install the four sets of brackets and bolts
that secure the chassis to the wooden pallet.
9. Slide the plastic cover over the router chassis. The plastic cover is part of the router’s original packing
materials.
10. Place the packing foam on top of and around the router.
11. Place the power cords in the box.
12. Remove the adjustable mounting brackets from the rack and place them and their connecting screws
in the accessory box.
13. If you are returning accessories or FRUs with the router, pack them as instructed in “Packing MX10008
Components for Shipping” on page 309.
14. Verify that all accessories are present. See “Unpacking Line Cards, RCBs, and Switch Fabric Boards”
on page 135.
