Appendix E Repacking the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switch for Shipment
Repacking the System Components
i.
Insert each of the four cable management frames into one of the open slots in the cardboard dividers.
j.
Place the flat cardboard divider on top of the packed cable management frames (see Callout 5 in
).
k.
Open the box for the top cover, place the top cover in the box, close the box, and place the box on
top of the flat cardboard piece, which covers the packed cable management frames (see Callout 6 in
).
l.
Place the remaining packing cushion on top of the top cover box, close the box for the cable
management frames, and tape it shut.
Step 11
Disconnect each system ground by loosening and removing the two M4 screws that attach the grounding
cable to the chassis.
Step 12
Loosen and remove the 9 screws that hold each side of the chassis (18 screws total) to the vertical
mounting rails on the rack or cabinet.
Step 13
Position a mechanical lift in front of the chassis and raise its platform to the bottom of the chassis (or no
more than 0.25 inches (0.6 cm) below the bottom of the chassis), so that you can push the chassis onto
the lift platform.
Caution
You must use a mechanical lift when lifting anything weighing over 120 pounds (55 kg).
Step 14
Lay the shipping pallet flat on the floor. This pallet includes a raised portion that is bolted to the larger
pallet. Make sure that the raised portion is on top.
Caution
You need four persons for the following step.
Step 15
Use at least four persons to push the chassis onto the mechanical lift.
Caution
Be sure to push the chassis only on its frame. Do not push on any of its modules or use the handles on
any modules—these handles are used only for removing or installing these modules. Do not use the
handles on the side of the chassis to move or lift the chassis (the handles are not rated for lifting over
200 pounds [91 kg]). The chassis handles are only for adjusting the position of the chassis in the rack or
cabinet.
Step 16
After you securely position the chassis on the mechanical lift, use the mechanical lift to move the chassis
to its pallet.
Step 17
Lower the chassis to the level of the pallet or no more than 0.25 inches (0.6 cm) above the pallet.
Caution
You need four persons for the following step.
Step 18
Use at least four persons to push the chassis onto the raised portion of the pallet. Position the chassis so
that it is 4 inches (10.2 cm) away from the side of the common edge of the pallet and its raised portion.
Step 19
Attach two angle brackets to the raised portion of the pallet between the chassis and the pallet edge. Do
not tighten the screws that hold these brackets to the pallet—you will need to adjust their placement after
you place the chassis on the pallet. See
