Guidelines for Packing Hardware Components for Shipment
To pack and ship individual components:
When you return components, make sure that they are adequately protected with packing materials
and packed so that the pieces are prevented from moving around inside the carton.
Use the original shipping materials if they are available.
Place individual components in antistatic bags.
Write the RMA number on the exterior of the box to ensure proper tracking.
CAUTION:
Packing the MX240 Router for Shipment
To pack the router for shipment:
1. Retrieve the shipping crate and packing materials in which the router was originally shipped. If you do
not have these materials, contact your Juniper Networks representative about approved packaging
materials.
2. On the console or other management device connected to the master Routing Engine, enter CLI
operational mode and issue the following command to shut down the router software. (If two Routing
Engines are installed, also issue the command on the backup Routing Engine.)
user@host> request system halt
Wait until a message appears on the console confirming that the operating system has halted.
For more information about the command, see request system halt.
3. Wrap and fasten one end of the ESD grounding strap around your bare wrist, and connect the other
end of the strap to the ESD point on the chassis.
4. Shut down power to the router by pressing the AC input switch or DC circuit breaker for all power
supplies to the off (O) position.
5. Disconnect power from the router.
Do not stack any of the hardware components.
