After you prepare the installation site as described in "Site Preparation Checklist for a
J-EX8200 Switch" on page 63, you may unpack the switch.
NOTE: The switch 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 J-EX8200
switch:
A 7/16-in. or 11-mm open-end or socket wrench to remove the bracket bolts from the
shipping pallet
A box cutter or packing knife to slice open the tape that seals the top of the box
The switch ships 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.
The J-EX8216 chassis ships with the Routing Engine (RE) modules, SF modules, fan trays,
and power supplies for the configuration you ordered already installed. Any line cards
ordered ship separately.
See "J-EX8216 Switch Configurations" on page 7 for information about redundant
configurations.
To unpack the switch (see "Unpacking a J-EX8200 Switch" on page 98 and Figure 36 on
page 100):
Move the shipping box to a staging area as close to the installation site as possible.
1.
While the chassis is bolted to the pallet, you can use a forklift or pallet jack to move
it.
Position the shipping box with the arrows pointing up.
2.
Open the four pallet fasteners near the bottom of the shipping box that attach the
3.
cardboard box to the wooden pallet. To open a pallet fastener, squeeze together the
two ridges ("fins") in the depression in the latch, then slide the pallet fastener out of
the cardboard box slot in which it is inserted. See Figure 35 on page 99.
