NOTE: The switch is maximally protected inside the shipping box. Do not unpack it until you are ready to begin installation. Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to unpack the J-EX8200 switch: • A 7/16-in. or 11-mm open-end or socket wrench to remove the bracket bolts from the shipping pallet • A box cutter or packing knife to slice open the tape that seals the top of the box The switch ships in a cardboard box that has a two-layer wooden pallet base with foam cushioning between the layers. The switch chassis is bolted to the pallet base. The J-EX8208 chassis ships with the Switch Fabric and Routing Engine (SRE) modules, Switch Fabric (SF) module, fan tray, and power supplies for the configuration you ordered already installed. Any line cards ordered ship separately. To unpack the switch (see Figure 33 on page 92): 1. Move the shipping box to a staging area as close to the installation site as possible. For a J-EX8208 switch, make sure there is enough space to remove components from the chassis if necessary (for example, if you do not have a mechanical lift to use when you install the switch). While the chassis is bolted to the pallet, you can use a forklift or pallet jack to move it. 2. Position the shipping box with the arrows pointing up. 3. Open the four pallet fasteners near the bottom of the shipping box that attach the cardboard box to the wooden pallet. To open a pallet fastener, squeeze together the two ridges ("fins") in the depression in the latch, then slide the pallet fastener out of the cardboard box slot in which it is inserted.
