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 PTX10008 removal, see “Removing
a PTX10008 From a 4-Post Rack Using a Mechanical Lift” on page 358 or “Manually Removing a
PTX10008 from a 4-Post Rack” on page 360. For PTX10016 removal, see Removing a PTX10016 From
a 4-Post Rack Using a Mechanical Lift.
7. Remove the router from the rack (see “PTX10008 Chassis Lifting Guidelines” on page 403) 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 rack mount kit from the rack and place it and the connecting screws in the accessory box.
13. If you are returning accessories or FRUs with the router, pack them as instructed in “Packing PTX10000
Components for Shipping” on page 393.
14. Verify that all accessories are present. See “Comparing the PTX10000 Order to the Pack” on page 202.
15. Slide the cardboard box over the chassis, making sure that the arrows on the box point up and the
pallet fasteners to secure the cardboard box to the wooden pallet are near the bottom.
16. Attach the cardboard box to the wooden pallet by screwing two screws into each of the four pallet
fasteners. See Figure 235 on page 392 and Figure 236 on page 393.
