The Router Shipping Package
Figure A-1 shows the router in an exploded view of the parts making up the
shipping package components.
Because of the weight and height of the router, the router shipping pallet
incorporates a scissor-jack platform. This scissor-jack platform enables a team of
two installers to remove a fully-loaded router from the pallet and insert it into an
equipment rack, or extract a fully loaded router from a rack, without removing any
of the components from the router chassis.
The router should be bagged to protect it against dust and electrostatic discharge
(ESD) and secured to the scissor-jack platform by four anchor clips. The anchor
clips are inserted into slots along the bottom edges of the router chassis side
panels and secured to the scissor-jack platform by four bolts. In turn, the
scissor-jack platform is secured to the shipping pallet by eight hold-down brackets
that are bolted to the top of the shipping pallet.
The shipping pallet consists of a U-shaped wood and foam pallet body and a wood
and foam pallet front bar. The pallet front bar fastens to the open end of the pallet
body to create the fourth bearing surface for the scissor-jack platform and to
complete the base needed to support the walls of the shipping container.
