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
– 7/16-inch socket wrench
The Brocade MLXe Series-32 router ships in a wooden crate bolted to a wooden platform that rests on a pallet. Follow these steps to
uncrate the router.
1. The router shipping crate must be in the upright position with enough space to slide the crate off of the pallet.
