This document describes the shipping container for the Cisco 12008 Gigabit Switch Router (GSR).

Product Overview

The Cisco 12008, a member of the Cisco 12000 series of Internet routing products, is built around a high-speed switching fabric that is scalable from 10 to 40 Gbps, providing high performance to support Internet Protocol (IP)-based local-area networks (LANs) and wide-area networks (WANs).

The Cisco 12008 is 17.4 inches (44.2 cm) wide, 21.2 inches (54.4 cm) deep, and 24.8 inches (63 cm) high. A fully configured system with two AC-input power supplies weighs approximately 187 lb (85 kg). The Cisco 12008 shipping container is 25.3 inches (64.3 cm) wide, 37.7 inches (95.8 cm) long, and 31.8-inches (80.8 cm) high. The shipping materials weigh approximately 44 lb (20 kg).

A system packaging kit has been designed for the Cisco 12008. This is the same packaging kit used to ship your system originally. The kit includes a shipping pallet and an accessories box. If your original system packaging is damaged or has been discarded, you must order a replacement system packaging kit in order to safely ship the Cisco 12008 to another location.
