Juniper Networks EX8208 - Manual (Page 231)

Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to remove the switch:
• A Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2 or number 3, depending on the size of your rack
mounting screws
To remove the switch from the rack (see Figure 80 on page 205):
1. Use the appropriate Phillips (+) screwdriver to remove the 24 mounting screws that
attach the chassis front-mounting brackets to the rack or cabinet.
WARNING: To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your
back. Do not twist your body as you lift. Balance the load evenly and be sure that your
footing is firm.
2. With one person on each side and one person in the back, hold onto the bottom of
the chassis and carefully lift it out of the adjustable mounting brackets attached to
the rack. If you have a pallet jack, move the switch onto the pallet jack.

After you move the switch to its new location, reinstall the components in the chassis or
store the components in antistatic bags. See:
