Unpack an ACX7509 Router

SUMMARY Unpack the router using the recommended tools and following the recommended procedure.

Tools and Parts Required to Unpack the ACX7509 Router

To unpack the router and prepare for installation, you need the following tools:

  • Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2

  • 1/2-in. or 13-mm open-end or socket wrench to remove bracket bolts from the shipping pallet

  • A box cutter or packing knife to slice open the nylon straps and tape that seal the crate and boxes

  • Blank panels to cover any slots not occupied by a component

Unpack the ACX7509 Shipping Pallet

After you prepare the installation site as described in you can unpack the router.

The ACX7509 router chassis is a rigid sheet-metal structure that houses the hardware components. The chassis ships in a cardboard box that has a two-layer wooden pallet base with foam cushioning between the layers. The router chassis is bolted to the pallet base. The carton also contains an accessory box and a rack-mount kit.

Note:

ACX7509 routers are maximally protected inside the shipping carton. Do not unpack the router until you are ready to begin installation.

To unpack the chassis:

  1. Move the shipping box to a staging area as close to the installation site as possible. While the chassis is bolted to the pallet, you can use a forklift or pallet jack to move the shipping box. Make sure there is enough space to remove components from the chassis.
  2. Position the shipping box with the arrows pointing up.
  3. Use the box cutter to slice the nylon straps that secure the shipping box to the pallet.
  4. Lift the shipping box off the chassis.
  5. Remove the cardboard accessory box.
  6. Remove the foam padding from the top of the box.
  7. Remove the plastic cover from the router chassis.
  8. Use a mechanical lift or unload all of the components manually. Then, manually lift the chassis from the shipping pallet.
  9. Unpack the accessory box, and lay out the contents so that they are ready for use.
  10. Verify that your order includes all appropriate parts.
  11. Save the shipping box and packing materials in case you need to move or ship the router at a later time.

Unpack the ACX7509 Flexible PIC Concentrators, Routing Control Boards, and Forwarding Engine Boards

Before you unpack a component, ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. See Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage.

Flexible PIC Concentrators (FPCs), additional Routing and Control Boards (RCBs), and additional Forwarding Engine Boards (FEBs) are field-replaceable units (FRUs) that are shipped separately from the router chassis. The housings for the RCBs and FPCs are rigid sheet-metal structures. The housing for a FEB consists of an exposed printed circuit board (PCB) on one side and sheet metal on the other. All these components—the FRUs and the housings—are shipped in a cardboard carton, secured with packing material.

CAUTION:

The components are maximally protected inside the shipping carton. Do not unpack them until you are ready to install the components in the router chassis.

To unpack an RCB, a FEB, or a FPC:

  1. Move the shipping carton to a staging area as close to the installation site as possible.
  2. Position the carton so that the arrows are pointing up.
  3. Open the top flaps on the shipping carton.
  4. Pull out the packing material that holds the component in place.
  5. Remove the component from the antistatic bag.
  6. Save the shipping carton and packing materials in case you need to move or ship the RCB, FEB, or FPC later.

Compare the ACX7509 Order to the Packing List

The router chassis shipment includes a packing list. Check the parts you receive in the shipping crate against the items on the packing list. The packing list specifies the part number and description of each part in your order.

The following items ship separately from the chassis:

  • FPCs

  • Cable management system

To compare the sales order and packing list against the contents of the chassis shipping crate:

  1. Determine the configuration. The parts shipped depend on the configuration you order. These are the supported configurations:

    • ACX7509-BASE—Base configuration, AC/HVDC or DC with one ACX7509-FEB

    • ACX7509-PREMIUM—Premium redundant configuration, AC/HVDC or DC with two ACX7509-FEBs

  2. Compare the packing list accompanying the chassis with the configuration order.

    • For BASE configuration orders, see Table 1.

    • For PREMIUM configuration orders, see Table 2.
