Appendix H  Repackaging the gateway

This chapter describes how to repackage the gateway chassis, power supplies, and cards.

Removing cables from the gateway

Before repackaging the gateway, remove all cables such as the power cord, console cable, twisted pair, optical fiber, and grounding cable from the gateway.

Removing the power cord

1.     Switch off the circuit breakers at the input end of all power cords.

2.     Wear an ESD wrist strap, and make sure it has a good skin contact and is reliably grounded.

3.     Remove the power cord plug:

¡     AC power cord—Remove the cable tie that secures the power cord, and then pull out the plug.

¡     DC power cord—Remove the cable tie that secures the power cord, loosen the fastening screw on the power cord, and then pull out the plug.

Removing the console cable

1.     Pull the RJ-45 connector of the console cable out from the console port of the gateway.

2.     Pull the DB-9 connector of the console cable out from the serial port of the PC.

Removing the grounding cable

1.     Loosen the two screws at the grounding holes (located at the rear panel and marked with a grounding sign) of the chassis, and then remove the grounding cable from the chassis.

2.     Loosen the screws at the grounding hole on the grounding terminal of the cabinet, and remove the other end of the grounding cable (with a ring terminal).

Removing the twisted pair and optical fiber

You must remove twisted pairs and optical fibers from all the interfaces of the gateway.

Repackaging the gateway

Repackaging a power supply

To repackage a power supply:

1.     Prepare the packing bag and box of the power supply. Make sure the bag is clean, dry, and not damaged.

2.     Remove all power supplies from the chassis, and then install blank filler panels to the empty slots.

For how to remove a power supply and install a blank filler panel, see "Replacing a power supply."

3.     Put the removed power supply into the anti-static bag.

4.     Place the foam cushion over the power supply.

5.     Place the power supply and the foam cushion in the packing box, and seal the box with tape.

Repackaging a card

1.     Prepare the original packing materials, including the anti-static shielding bag, foam cushion, and packing box, for a card. Make sure these packing materials are clean, dry, and not damaged.

2.     Remove the transceiver modules, if any, from the card. If no transceiver module is installed on the card, go to the next step.

For how to remove a transceiver module, see "Replacing a transceiver module."

3.     Remove all cards from the chassis slots, and install blank filler panels to the empty slots.

For how to remove a card and install a blank filler panel, see "Replacing a card."

4.     Put the removed card into the anti-static bag.

5.     Place the foam cushion over the card.

6.     Put the card and the foam cushion into the box, and seal the box with tape.

Repackaging the gateway chassis

(Optional.) Removing the air filter doors

See the user guide provided with the air filter doors to remove the air filter doors, if any.

Removing cable management brackets

Before repackaging the gateway chassis, remove the cable management brackets from the chassis.

The cable management brackets have been installed on the two sides of an M9000-AI-E8 gateway when the gateway is shipped. You only need to attach the cable guides to the cable management bracket.

To remove the cable management brackets from an M9000-AI-E16:

1.     Prepare the packing bag of the cable management brackets. Make sure the bag is clean, dry, and not damaged.

2.     Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screws that attach the cable management brackets to the chassis, and then remove the cable management brackets.

3.     Put the cable management brackets into the bag.

Figure 1 Removing the cable management brackets

Removing the gateway from the rack

M9000-AI gateways are heavy. If possible, use a mechanical lift to move the gateway.

To remove the gateway from the rack:

1.     Prepare the wooden carton and packing bag of the gateway. Make sure the carton and bag are clean, dry, and not damaged.

2.     Remove the top cap and side panels from the wooden carton.

3.     Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screws that attach the mounting brackets to the rack.

4.     Use multiple people to slide the gateway outwards along the slide rails. When most part of the gateway is removed from the slide rails, lift up the gateway by holding the handles at the gateway sides to completely remove the gateway from the rack.

5.     Put the gateway onto the pallet base of the wooden carton.

Repackaging the gateway

1.     Align the left and right edges of the gateway bottom with the left and right positioning lines respectively on the wooden pallet base. See Figure 3 for the wooden pallet base.

Figure 3 Wooden pallet base

2.     Use screws to attach the L-type brackets to the gateway, as shown by callout 1 in Figure 4.

Figure 4 Attaching the L-type brackets to the pallet base

3.     Move the gateway so that the mounting holes on the horizontal ear of the L-type brackets align with the mounting holes on the wooden pallet base. Use screws to attach the L-type brackets to the wooden pallet base, as shown by callout 2 in Figure 4.

4.     Cover the gateway with the packing bag from top down, and then tape the bag to the plastic cover of pallet base.

5.     Use the carton to cover the gateway from top down with the mark side aligning with the front panel of the gateway. Erect one paper angle bead along each vertical edge of the gateway.

6.     Put the foam cushion onto the gateway top, and make sure the mounting brackets seat into the internal notches of the foam cushion.

7.     Fit the accessory box into the notch of the foam cushion near to the rear end of the gateway. Then close the carton.
