Packing a QFX3008-I Interconnect Device for Shipping
If you need to transport the device to another location or return the device to Juniper
Networks, you need to pack the device securely in its original packaging to prevent damage
during transportation.
Before you pack the device:
1. Poweroff the device. See “Powering Off a QFX3008-I Interconnect Device” on page 296.
2. Remove all wires, plugs, and power cords from the device.
Leave components that came installed in the device in the chassis.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to pack the device:
•
Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2
•
A 5/16-in. open-end or socket wrench to install the bracket bolts on the shipping pallet
•
The original device packing material (wooden pallet, cardboard box, accessory box
and its contents, foam padding, and brackets and bracket bolts for attaching the
chassis to the pallet)
•
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap
The QFX3008-I Interconnect device is shipped in a cardboard box that has a two-layer
wooden pallet base with foam cushioning between the layers. The device chassis is
bolted to the pallet base with four brackets, two on each side of the chassis.
CAUTION: The device is maximally protected inside the shipping box. Pack
the device only in its original shipping box, securely bolted to the original
wooden shipping pallet.
Do not pack the device in anything except its original container, or the device
might be damaged in transit.
To pack the device:
1. Move the wooden pallet and packing material to a staging area as close to the device
as possible. Make sure there is enough space to move the chassis from the rack or
cabinet to the wooden pallet.
2. Remove the device from the rack or cabinet. See “Removing a QFX3008-I Interconnect
Device from a Rack or Cabinet” on page 300.
Move the chassis to the shipping pallet(see “Chassis Lifting Guidelines for a QFX3008-I
Interconnect Device” on page 175). The pallet is marked to allow you to determine
which direction the chassis should face.
3. Use the 5/16-in. open-end or socket wrench and number 2 Phillips screwdriver to
install the four sets of brackets and bolts that secure the chassis to the wooden pallet.
