Product Number: PKG-GSR12=
This document covers the use of the system packaging materials for the Cisco 12012 Gigabit Switch Router (GSR). The Cisco 12012 is a member of the Cisco 12000 series of Internet routing products. The Cisco 12012 is aimed at scaling the Internet and enterprise backbones to speeds of OC-3/STM-1 (155 Mbps), OC-12/STM-4 (622 Mbps), and OC-48/STM-16 (2.4 Gbps). The Cisco 12012 is built around a high-speed switching fabric that is scalable from 5 to 60 Gbps, providing high-performance to support Internet Protocol (IP) -based local-area networks (LANs) and wide-area networks (WANs).
The sections in this document include the following:
The Cisco 12012 is a large, heavy system. The system is 19-inches (48.3 cm) wide, 21-inches (53.3 cm) deep, and 56-inches (142.2 cm) high. (Refer to Figure 1.) A fully configured system with four AC-input power supplies weighs approximately 380 lb (172.4 kg). In order to ship the system safely, a system packaging kit has been designed for the Cisco 12012. This is the same packaging kit used to ship your system originally. The kit includes a shipping pallet, a large cardboard box for storing the AC-input power supplies and the accessories box, and wooden side and end panels and a wooden top cap.

If your original system packaging is damaged or has been discarded, you must order a replacement system packaging kit.
Before you begin the repackaging procedure, review the safety guidelines in this section to avoid injuring yourself or damaging the equipment.
In addition, review the safety warnings listed in the document Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco 12012 Gigabit Switch Router (Document Number 78-4347-xx) that accompanied your Cisco 12012 before installing, configuring, or maintaining the router.
The following guidelines will help ensure your safety and protect the equipment. This list is not inclusive of all potentially hazardous situations, so be alert.
A fully configured Cisco 12012 weigh approximately 380 lb (172 kg); individual components of the Cisco 12012 can weigh up to 85 lb (38.5 kg).
Whenever you lift any heavy components, follow these guidelines:
The line cards, Gigabit Route Processor (GRP), switch fabric cards, alarm card, blower modules, and redundant power supplies are designed to be removed and replaced while the system is operating without presenting an electrical hazard or damage to the system.
Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:
In addition, use the guidelines that follow when working with any equipment that is disconnected from a power source, but still connected to telephone or network wiring:
Electrostatic discharge damage, which can occur when electronic boards or components are handled improperly, can result in complete or intermittent failures.
Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
![]() | Caution You should periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be between 1 and 10 megohms. |
You need the following tools and parts to repackage the Cisco 12012:

Repackaging the Cisco 12012 requires that you first remove the major components from the frame to reduce the overall weight to make the system easier to handle. You then remove the frame from the rack and secure it on the pallet, and replace the components in the frame. After you have installed the components back into the frame, you repackage the system using the system packaging procedures in the following sections.
Remove the Cisco 12012 frame from the rack, place the frame on the shipping pallet, and secure it to the pallet with four anchors, then reassemble the Cisco 12012 according to the procedures contained in the appendix "Repackaging the Cisco 12012" in the Cisco 12012 Gigabit Switch Router Installation and Configuration Guide.
![]() | Caution To prevent damage, never attempt to lift or tilt the Cisco 12012 using the handles on the blower modules or on the power supplies. These handles are not designed to support the full weight of the Cisco 12012. |
Perform the following steps to place the Cisco 12012 in the system packaging:
Step 1 Place all of the accessories (including the brace bar, any AC power cords, documentation and mounting hardware) in the accessories box. (Refer to Figure 2.)
Step 2 Tape the accessories box shut.
Step 3 Position the large cardboard box on the front of the pallet so that the two foam brackets mounted on the outside of the box are positioned under the system air filter tray. (Refer to Figure 2.) These two foam brackets prevent the large cardboard box from coming loose during transit.
Step 4 Perform the following steps to package AC-input power supplies for shipment (refer to Figure 2):
(a) Place the one-piece power supply foam insert in the bottom of the large cardboard box.
(b) Position the power supply so that it is resting faceplate up in one of the cutouts in the bottom power supply foam insert. Repeat this step for a second AC-input power supply.
(c) Place the two pieces of the power supply foam insert over the top of the power supplies.
(d) Place the accessories box on top of the power supply foam insert.
Step 5 If you are not packaging any power supplies in the large cardboard box, perform the following steps:
(a) Place the one-piece power supply foam insert in the bottom of the cardboard box.
(b) Place the other two power supply foam inserts in the cardboard box.
(c) Place the accessories box in the cardboard box on top of foam inserts.
Step 6 Fold the flaps down and secure the top of the large cardboard box with tape.
Step 7 Place the foam top cap on the top of the Cisco 12012.
Step 8 Install the two wooden side panels on the pallet by performing the following steps (refer to Figure 2):
(a) Position one of the shipping packaging wooden side panels on the pallet so that the four tabs on the bottom of the side panel are facing out and fit them into the four slots on the edge of the pallet.
(b) While holding the side panel, bend the four tabs outward 180 degrees with pliers or a flat-blade screwdriver.
(c) Repeat Step a and Step b for the second side panel.
Step 9 Install the two wooden end panels on the pallet by performing the following steps (refer to Figure 2):
(a) Position the shipping packaging wooden end panel on the pallet so that the two tabs on the bottom of the panel are facing out and fit them into the two slots on the edge of the pallet.
(b) While holding the end panel, bend the two tabs outward 180 degree with pliers or a flat-blade screwdriver.
(c) Repeat Step a and Step b for the second end panel.
Step 10 Secure the four sides of the shipping container together by performing the following steps (refer to Figure 2):
(a) Grasp an end panel with one hand and a side panel with the other hand and fit the two panels together so that the four tabs on the end panel fit into the four slots on the side panel.
(b) While holding the two panels, bend the four tabs outward 180 degrees to secure the two panels together.
(c) Repeat Step a and Step b for the remaining sides of the shipping container.
Step 11 Position the wooden top cap over the top of the shipping container so that the 12 tabs on the sides of the shipping container fit into the 12 slots on the top cap.
Step 12 Bend the 12 tabs outward 180 degrees with pliers or a flat-blade screwdriver.
The Cisco 12012 is now packaged and ready to be transported. Use a forklift or pallet jack to move the Cisco 12012 crate.
