Installing a Brocade MLX-32 router
If any of these items are missing, contact the place of purchase.
Unpacking your Brocade MLX-32 router
You will need the following tools to remove your router from the shipping crate:
•
A forklift or pallet jack with a minimum limit of 550 lbs to move the router crate on the pallet.
•
A mechanical lift with a minimum 350 lb limit to move the router off the pallet. The ideal lift configuration is a counterweight base
material lift with a metal lift plate installed in place of the forks. The metal plate should be no wider than 17 inches, so that it will fit
between the rack mount rails.
•
A strap to stabilize the router while you are moving it on the mechanical lift.
•
A power drill with the following attachments:
-
Large Phillips screwdriver
-
Large flat-blade screwdriver
-
7/16-inch socket wrench
The Brocade MLX-32 router ships in a wooden crate bolted to a wooden platform that rests on a pallet. Follow these steps to uncrate the
router.
1. The router shipping crate must be in the upright position with enough space to slide the crate off of the pallet.
2. Use a power drill with Phillips and large flat-blade screwdriver attachments to remove the bolts and screws that hold the front
shipping crate panel in place, as shown in Figure 60. Remove the front panel and set it aside.
