Repack the Router
If you need to move or return the vEdge router, repack the router in its original packing. Before you repack
the router follow these steps:
1. Shut down the vEdge router by issuing the poweroff command at the CLI prompt.
2. Disconnect power to the router.
3. Remove the cables and transceivers.
You will need the following tools to repack the router:
• Phillips Number 2 (+) screwdriver
• Cardboard carton and original packing in which you received the router
To repack the router in its original packing:
1. If you do not have a vEdge 1000 router, skip this step. Otherwise:
1. If the router is installed in a rack using the rack-mount kit from Viptela, remove the front stopper
screwed along the front side of the rack-mount tray.
2. Then remove the rack-mount tray from the rack by having one person support the weight of the
rack-mount tray while a second person unscrews the rack-mount screws.
3. Place the rack-mount tray on a firm, flat surface.
4. Slide out the vEdge 1000 router from the rack-mount tray.
2. Place the router chassis in the plastic packing bag.
3. Place the side packing foam on both sides of the router chassis.
4. Secure the chassis in the cardboard carton.
5. Secure the top of the chassis by placing the top packing foam over the top of the chassis.
6. Close the cardboard shipping box and seal it with packing tape.
7. Write the RMA number on top of the box for purposes of tracking.
