![]() | Caution Do not attempt to lift the fully assembled Cisco 12012 from the pallet. A fully configured Cisco 12012 with two DC-input power supplies installed in the power supply bay weighs 334 lb (151.5 kg). |
When lifting the Cisco 12012 components, follow these precautions to avoid injury to yourself and/or damage to the equipment:
The wooden shipping container consists of two side panels, two end panels, and a wooden top cap. Bendable metal tabs and slots secure the shipping container pieces together.
![]() | Caution The metal edges of the wooden side panels, wooden cap, and the pallet can be sharp. Use caution when working around and handling the packaging pieces. |
Perform the following steps to remove the wooden shipping container (refer to Figure 1):
Step 1 Using a hand cart, pallet jack, or forklift, place the Cisco 12012 shipping container as near to the installation location as possible. Ensure that you have sufficient room to unpack the system.
Step 2 Remove the system packaging wooden top cap as follows:
(a) Using a flat-blade screwdriver or pliers, straighten the 12 tabs that secure the wooden top cap to the top of the system packaging (four tabs on the top edge of each side panel; two tabs on the top edge of each end panel.)
(b) Lift up the wooden top cap and remove it from the top of the system packaging. Set the wooden top cap aside.
Step 3 Remove a wooden side panel as follows:
(a) Using a flat-blade screwdriver or pliers, straighten the 12 tabs that secure the wooden side panel to the end panels and the pallet (four on each end; four on the bottom.)
(b) Pivot the side panel out, away from the system, to disengage the eight end panel tabs from the side panel slots.
(c) Lift up the side panel to disengage the four side panel tabs from the pallet slots. Set the side panel aside.
Repeat Step a through Step c for the second side panel.
Step 4 Remove a wooden end panel as follows:
(a) Using a flat-blade screwdriver or pliers, straighten the two tabs that secure an end panel to the pallet.
(b) Lift up the end panel to disengage the two end panel tabs from the pallet slots. Set the end panel aside.
Repeat Step a and Step b for the second end panel.
Step 5 Remove the foam top cap from the system and set it aside.
The large cardboard box on the front of the pallet contains the accessories box and might contain up to two AC-input power supplies. (Refer to Figure 1).
The Cisco 12012 can be configured with either AC-input or DC-input power supplies. Up to two AC-input or DC-input power supplies are shipped installed in the system power supply bay. Systems configured with three or four AC-input power supplies (for power supply redundancy) are shipped with two power supplies installed in the power supply bay and one or two power supplies packaged in foam inserts in a large cardboard box.
Cisco 12012 systems shipped configured with DC-input power supplies have either one or two power supplies installed in the system power supply bay. The accessories box is placed on top of three foam inserts in the large cardboard box.
Perform the following steps to remove the accessories box and any AC-input power supplies:
Step 1 Cut the shipping tape that secures the large cardboard box flaps and open the flaps.
Step 2 Lift the accessories box out of the large box. (Finger holes in the accessories box are provided to make it easier for you to remove the accessories box from the large box.) Set the accessories box aside.
Step 3 If the large cardboard box contains AC-input power supplies, perform the following steps to remove them from the packaging:
(a) Remove the two foam inserts covering the AC-input power supplies.
(b) Grasp the AC-input power supply handle and carefully lift the power supply out of the box. Set the power supply aside.
(c) Repeat Step a and Step b for a second AC-input power supply.
Step 4 Grasp the edges of the large cardboard box and pull the box out, away from the system, to release the two foam brackets positioned under the air filter tray. Remove the box from the pallet and set it aside.
The system is now ready for installation. Open the accessories box and locate the documentation package that accompanies the Cisco 12012. Follow the installation procedures in the Cisco 12012 Gigabit Switch Router Installation and Configuration Guide.
