•"Unpack the Router" on page 11

•"Remove Components" on page 15

• Install the router using one of the following procedures:

•"Install the Router Using a Pallet Jack with Aachment" on page 23

•"Install the Router Using a Router Transport Kit" on page 30

Unpack the Router

The router is shipped in a wooden crate. A wooden pallet forms the base of the crate. The router chassis

is bolted to this pallet. Metal latches secure the top and boom in place. A large rack mount tray, pallet

jack aachment, EMI covers, and a cardboard accessory box are also included in the shipping crate. The

total weight of the container including the router, FRUs, and accessories is 2042 lb (926.24 kg).

The shipping container measures 85.0 in. (215.9 cm) high, 42.0 in. (106.7 cm) wide, and

48.0 in. (121.9 cm) deep (see Figure 6 on page 12). See Table 1 on page 3 for MX2020 shipping weight

specicaons.

NOTE: The total weight of the shipping crate with router and accessories varies depending on

your conguraon.

Figure 6: MX2020 Shipping Crate Specicaons

NOTE: Depending on your conguraon, the MX2020 might be shipped with addional

components already installed.

NOTE: The MX2020 can be ordered with extended EMI covers and extended cable managers.

Before removing the router from the shipping crate, you must remove all components (see "Remove

Components" on page 15).

Because of the router’s size and weight—up to 1515 lb (687.2 kg) depending on conguraon—we

strongly recommend that you install the router by using a pallet jack with pallet jack aachment or a

router transport kit.

NOTE: The router is maximally protected inside the shipping crate. Do not unpack it unl you are

ready to begin installaon.

To unpack the router:

1. Move the shipping crate to an ESD-approved staging area as close to the installaon site as

possible, where you have enough room to remove the components from the chassis. While the

chassis is bolted to the shipping pallet, you can use a forkli or pallet jack to move it.

NOTE: We recommend that all components be removed from the chassis before installaon.

2. Posion the shipping crate with the arrows poinng up.

3. Open all the latches on the shipping crate.

4. Remove the front door of the shipping crate and set it aside.

NOTE: If you ordered a router transport kit, the shipping crate door is used as a ramp to

guide the MX2020 out of the crate.

5. Using a two-person team, slide the remainder of the shipping crate o the pallet (see Figure 7 on

page 14).

Figure 7: Unpacking the MX2020

6. Remove the foam covering the top of the router.

7. Remove the pallet jack aachment, if ordered. See "Unpack the Router Transport Kit" on page 30

for instrucons on how to unpack and install the router transport kit.

8. Remove the large mounng tray.

9. Remove the accessory box.

10. Verify the parts received against the list.

11. Remove the vapor corrosion inhibitor (VCI) packs aached to the pallet, being careful not to break

the VCI packs open.

12. To remove the brackets holding the chassis to the pallet, use a 9/16-in. (14 mm) socket wrench, and

a number 2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the bolts and screws from the brackets.

13. Set the shipping brackets aside for later use to secure the router to the pallet jack aachment.

NOTE: If you ordered a router transport kit, see "Unpack the Router Transport Kit" on page

30 for instrucons on how to unpack and install the router transport kit.

14. Save the shipping crate cover, pallet, and packing materials in case you need to move or ship the

router at a later me.

Remove Components

The router might have eld replacement units (FRUs) installed. Remove these FRUs from the MX2020

router before installing the router into a rack or cabinet (see Figure 8 on page 15, Figure 9 on page

17, and Figure 10 on page 19).

Figure 8: Components to Remove from the Front of the MX2020 Router
