Unpacking the PTX5000 Packet Transport Switch
The packet transport switch is shipped in a wooden crate. A wooden pallet forms the
base of the crate. The packet transport switch chassis is bolted to this pallet. Quick Start
installation instructions and a cardboard accessory box are also included in the shipping
crate.
NOTE: Thepackettransportswitchis maximallyprotected inside the shipping
crate. Do not unpack it until you are ready to begin installation.
To unpack the packet transport switch (see Figure 31 on page 63):
1. Move the shipping crate to a staging area as close to the installation site as possible,
where you have enough room to remove the components from the chassis. While the
chassis is bolted to the pallet, you can use a forklift or pallet jack to move it.
2. Position the shipping crate with the arrows pointing up.
3. Open all the latches on the shipping crate.
4. Remove the front door of the shipping crate cover and set it aside.
5. Slide the remainder of the shipping crate cover off the pallet.
6. Remove the foam covering the top of the packet transport switch.
7. Remove the accessory box and the Quick Start documentation.
8. Verify the parts received against the lists in “Verifying the PTX5000 Packet Transport
Switch Parts Received” on page 63.
9. Remove the vapor corrosion inhibitor (VCI) packs attached to the pallet, being careful
not to break the VCI packs open.
10. To remove the brackets holding the chassis on the pallet, use a 1/2-in. socket wrench
and a number 2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the bolts and screws from the brackets.
11. Store the brackets and bolts inside the accessory box.
12. Save the shipping crate cover, pallet, and packing materials in case you need to move
or ship the packet transport switch at a later time.
