Unpack the PTX10016 Router
To unpack the PTX10016 router and its components, read the following sections.
Unpack the PTX10016 Shipping Pallet
After you prepare the installation site as described in Table 1, you can unpack the router.
The chassis is maximally protected inside the shipping box. Do not unpack it until you are ready to begin installation.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to unpack the PTX10016:
A 13/32-in. (10-mm) open-end or socket wrench to remove the 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
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 shipper has the option to either ship the front door kit along with the chassis or separately. If the front door kit arrives with the chassis, set aside the front door kit until you are ready to verify the contents of the order.
To unpack the chassis (see Figure 1):

2 — Accessory box | 5 — Pallet |
3 — Foam top |

Unpack Line Cards, Routing Control Boards, and Switch Interface Boards for the PTX10016 Router
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.
Ensure that you know how to handle and store the component. (See How to Handle and Store PTX10016 Line Cards, RCBs, and SIBs).
Line cards, additional Routing and Control Boards (RCBs), and additional Switch Interface Boards (SIBs) components are FRUs that are shipped separately from the router chassis. The housing for the RCBs and line cards are rigid sheet-metal structures that house the electronics. SIBs have an exposed printed circuit board (PCB) on one side and sheet metal on the other. All these components are shipped in a cardboard carton, secured with packing material.
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 SIB, or a line card (see Figure 3):
- Move the shipping carton to a staging area as close to the installation site as possible.
- Position the carton so that the arrows are pointing up.
- Open the top flaps on the shipping carton.
- Pull out the packing material that holds the component in place.
- Remove the component from the antistatic bag.
- Save the shipping carton and packing materials in case you need to move or ship the RCB, SIB, or line card later.

Compare the PTX10016 Router 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.
If any part on the packing list is missing, contact your customer service representative, or contact Juniper Networks Customer Care from within the U.S. or Canada by telephone at 1-888-314-5822. For international-dial or direct-dial options in countries without toll-free numbers, see https://www.juniper.net/support/requesting-support.html.
Items that ship separately from the chassis are:
Line cards
Front door kit (JNP10016-FRNT-PNL or JNP10016-FRPNL1) depending on your order
Cable management kit (part number: JLC-CBL-MGMT-KIT)
Note:The front door kit and cable management kit are spare parts. The shipper has the option to either ship the kits along with the chassis or separately.
Use the following procedure to compare the sales order and packing list against the contents of the chassis shipping crate.
