Unpacking your Brocade MLXe Series-32 router
You will need the following tools to remove your router from the shipping crate:
•
A forklift or pallet jack with a minimum limit of 550 lbs to move the router crate on the pallet.

A mechanical lift with a minimum 350 lb limit to move the router off the pallet. The ideal lift configuration is a counterweight
base material lift with a metal lift plate installed in place of the forks. The metal plate should be no wider than 17 inches, so that
it will fit between the rack mount rails.

A strap to stabilize the router while you are moving it on the mechanical lift.
•
A power drill with the following attachments:
–
Large Phillips screwdriver
–
Large flat-blade screwdriver
