Packing an EX8200 Switch
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap
The EX8200 switch is shipped in a cardboard box that has a two-layer wooden pallet
base with foam cushioning between the layers. The switch chassis is bolted to the
pallet base with 4 pallet fasteners, 2 on each side of the chassis.
CAUTION: The switch is maximally protected inside the shipping box. Pack the switch
only in its original shipping box, securely bolted to the original wooden shipping
pallet.
Do not pack the switch in anything except its original container or the switch might
be damaged in transit.
To pack the switch (see Figure 2):
