Delivery within the United States or Canada is by air-ride truck with custom-designed
shipping material, crate, and pallet. International delivery normally involves air freight.
Unless otherwise instructed, the EMC Traffic Department arranges for delivery
directly to the customer's computer room. To ensure successful delivery of the
system, EMC has formed partnerships with specially selected moving companies.
These companies have moving professionals trained in the proper handling of large,
sensitive equipment. These companies provide the appropriate personnel, floor
layments, and any ancillary moving equipment required to facilitate delivery. Moving
companies should check general guidelines, weights, and dimensions.
NOTICE
Inform EMC of any labor union-based restrictions or security clearance requirements
prior to delivery.
Take into account the following considerations prior to the delivery at your site:
Weight capacities of the loading dock, tailgate, and service elevator if delivery is to
l
a floor other than the receiving floor.
Length and thickness of covering required for floor protection.
l
Equipment ramp availability if the receiving floor is not level with computer room
l
floor.
Set up the necessary network and gateway access to accommodate EMC Secure
l
Remote Support (ESRS) so that it will be available and operable for the installation
date.
To prevent tipping when moving up and down inclines, the following guidelines are
recommended:
When moving cabinets, all doors/drawers should be closed.
l
When moving the cabinet down an incline, the front of the cabinet must go first.
l
When moving the cabinet up an incline, the rear of the bay goes last.
l
All portions of the bay will clear ramp and threshold slopes up to 1:10 (rise to run
ratio), per Code of Federal Regulations — ADA Standards for Accessible Design, 28
CFR Part 36.
