Removing the Switch From the Shipping Box
This section explains how to unpack your switch. Refer to the section earlier in this chapter for a list of
shipped items.
Note: All shipping boxes are reusable. After removing all contents, replace the packing materials and
store the shipping box for future use.
Unpacking the 8265 Switch
To remove a switch from the shipping box:
1. Place the switch shipping box on the floor or on a table.
CAUTION:
UL safety requirements stipulate that a table used to support the switch and shipping box prior
to table top switch installation should be capable of supporting approximately three times the
weight of the switch as shipped.
Switch weight as shipped averages about 49 lbs. (22 kg), so a table used to support the hub
must support 147 lbs. (66 kg).
2. Cut the tape that covers the seam on the top of the box and remove the foam packing material. To
remove the foam packing material, pull it straight up.
3. Squeeze and remove the locking inserts at the bottom of the box.
To remove the locking
inserts, press the inner
latch mechanism together
to release them and then
pull them out.
