To pack the switch (see Figure 93 on page 196):
1.
Move the wooden pallet and packing material to a staging area as close to the switch
as possible. Make sure there is enough space to move the chassis from the rack or
cabinet to the wooden pallet.
2.
Remove the switch from the rack or cabinet. See “Removing a J-EX8216 Switch from
a Rack or Cabinet” on page 152.
Move the chassis to the shipping pallet (see “Chassis Lifting Guidelines for J-EX8200
Switches” on page 214). Position the switch on the pallet so that the front of the switch
is facing the silkscreened “front” mark on the pallet. The pallet also has crop marks
to guide you in positioning the chassis.
3.
Use the 7/16-in. or 11-mm open-end or socket wrench to install the four sets of brackets
and bolts that secure the chassis to the wooden pallet.
4.
Slide the plastic cover over the switch chassis. The plastic cover is part of the switch’s
original packing materials.
5.
Replace the foam padding on top of the chassis.
6.
Place the power cords in the box.
7.
Remove the adjustable mounting brackets from the rack or cabinet and place them
and their connecting screws in the accessory box.
8.
Place the accessory box in its slot in the foam padding. See “Parts Inventory (Packing
List) for a J-EX8216 Switch” on page 101 to verify that you have included all the proper
contents of the accessory box.
9.
Slide the cardboard box over the chassis, making sure that the arrows on the box point
up and the pallet fasteners to secure the cardboard box to the wooden pallet are near
the bottom.
10.
Attach the cardboard box to the wooden pallet using the four pallet fasteners attached
to the pallet. See Figure 92 on page 195. Squeeze together the two ridges (“fins”) in
the depression in each pallet fastener, then slide each fastener into its corresponding
slot in the cardboard box and release the ridges to secure the latch.
