Packing the Router for Shipment
To pack the router for shipment:
1. Retrieve the shipping crate and packing materials in which the router was
originally shipped. If you do not have these materials, contact your Juniper
Networks representative about approved packaging materials.
2. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist and
connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis. For more information
about ESD, see “Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage” on page 130.
3. On the console or other management device connected to the master Routing
Engine, enter CLI operational mode and issue the following command to shut
down the router software. (If two Routing Engines are installed, also issue the
command on the backup Routing Engine.)

Wait until a message appears on the console confirming that the operating system
has halted.
For more information about the command, see the JUNOS System Basics and
Services Command Reference.

to the off (O) position. On both AC and DC power supplies, the switch is located
on the power supply faceplate.
