Unpacking the MX2008 Router
The router is shipped in a wooden crate. A wooden pallet forms the base of the crate. The router chassis is bolted to this pallet. Metal latches secure the top and bottom in place. Quick Start installation instructions, a rack mount tray (for four-post or open-frame rack mounting), a pallet jack attachment, an EMI cover, and a cardboard accessory box are also included in the shipping crate. The total weight of the container including the router, FRUs, and accessories is 1343 lb (609.18 kg).
Depending on your configuration, the MX2008 might be shipped with additional components already installed.
The MX2008 can be ordered with extended EMI covers and extended cable managers.
There are two styles of shipping crates for the MX2008. Figure 1 shows the smaller crate that measures 66.25 in. (168.3 cm) high, 42.0 in. (106.7 cm) wide, and 48.0 in. (121.9 cm) deep. Figure 2 shows the larger crate that measures 68.4 in. (173.7 cm) high, 44.4 in. (112.8 cm) wide, and 51.6 in. (131.1 cm) deep. If you are not sure which crate you have, plan for the larger crate.
The total weight of the shipping crate with router and accessories varies depending on your configuration. See MX2008 Physical Specifications for more details.
The router is maximally protected inside the shipping crate. Do not unpack it until you are ready to begin installation.
To unpack the router:
- Remove the large mounting tray, pallet jack attachment,
accessory box, and the Quick Start installation instructions.Note:
