Repackaging Guidelines
About repackaging the platform
The VIPRION
®
4800 Series chassis and blades are designed to be shipped and packaged separately. If it
becomes necessary to transport the platform to another location or return it to F5
®
Networks, these guidelines
will help ensure that you repackage the platform properly.
Important: Before returning any equipment, contact F5 to obtain a Return Material Authorization (RMA)
case number.
Important: You must use shipping materials and packaging provided by F5 when repackaging the platform.
Note: Be sure to keep a record of the tracking number and ship date. These will be needed to track lost
shipments.
Note: Do not include any cables, removable XFP/SFP/SFP+ modules, GBICs, or other peripheral items
if you are returning the platform to F5 Networks.
