Before you pack a PTX10016 chassis or component:

  • Ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. See Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage.

  • Pack your chassis or component using one of these materials:

    • Use the packing material from the replacement chassis or component

    • Retrieve the original shipping carton and packing materials

Contact your JTAC representative if you do not have these materials, to learn about approved packing materials. See Contact Customer Support to Obtain a Return Materials Authorization for the PTX10016 Router or Component.

Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:

  • An electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap (provided in the accessory kit)

  • Antistatic bag, one for each component

  • If you are returning the chassis:

    • A 13/32-in. or 10-mm open-end or socket wrench to install the bracket bolts on the chassis and shipping pallet

    • An appropriate screwdriver for the mounting screws used on your rack

How to Pack the PTX10016 Chassis for Shipping

The PTX10016 is shipped 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 with four pallet fasteners, two on each side of the chassis. See Figure 13 for the stacking configuration of the PTX10016 router.

  4. Install covers over blank slots.

    Leave components that came installed in the chassis in the chassis, such as the control boards or power supplies.

  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 PTX10016 removal, see Remove the PTX10016 Router from a Four-Post Rack Using a Mechanical Lift.
  7. Remove the router from the rack (see PTX10016 Chassis Lifting Guidelines) 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 How to Pack PTX10016 Components for Shipping.
  14. Verify that all accessories are present. See Compare the PTX10016 Router Order to the Packing List.
  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 14.
    Figure 14: Attach the PTX10016 Chassis to the PalletAttach the PTX10016 Chassis to the Pallet
  17. Write the RMA number on the exterior of the box to ensure proper tracking.

How to Pack PTX10016 Components for Shipping

Before you begin packing a router component, ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:

  • Antistatic bag, one for each component

  • An electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap (provided in the accessory kit)

CAUTION:

Do not stack router components. Return individual components in separate boxes if they do not fit together on one level in the shipping box.

To pack and ship PTX10016 components:

  1. Place individual FRUs in antistatic bags.
  2. Use the original packing materials if they are available. If the original packing materials are not available, ensure that you pack the component adequately to prevent damage during transit. The packing material you use must be able to support the weight of the component.
  3. Ensure that you protect the components adequately with packing materials. You must also ensure that the components are packed such that you prevent the pieces from moving around inside the carton.
  4. Close the top of the cardboard shipping box and seal it with packing tape.
  5. Write the RMA number on the exterior of the box to ensure proper tracking.
