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
Figure E-31
).
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
Figure E-31
).
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
If you need to make the chassis as light as possible for moving, remove the fan trays as follows:
a.
Place an antistatic mat or antistatic foam where you can place two fan trays.
b.
Choose a place that prevents damage to the fan trays while they are outside the chassis.
c.
Unpack and place the replacement fan tray on the antistatic mat or antistatic foam.
d.
Loosen the four captive screws on the fan tray that you are replacing by turning them
counterclockwise until they are free of the chassis.
e.
Grasp the fan tray handle with one hand and pull the fan tray part way out of its slot on the chassis.
f.
If the fan tray power connector does not easily unseat from the backplane, rock it gently.
g.
Place a hand under the bottom side of the fan tray to support it and pull the fan tray out of the chassis.
h.
Place the fan tray on an antistatic pad or repack it in its original packing materials.
Step 12
Disconnect each system ground by loosening and removing the two M4 screws that attach the grounding
cable to the chassis.
Step 13
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 14
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 15
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 two persons for the following step.
Step 16
Use at least two 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 17
After you securely position the chassis on the mechanical lift, use the mechanical lift to move the chassis
to its pallet.
