Planning Your Access Route

If your existing loading dock meets height or ramp requirements for a standard
freight carrier truck, you can use a pallet jack to unload the system. If not, you must
provide a standard forklift
system be shipped in a truck with a lift gate.
See
FIGURE 2-4
Each system is shipped in a separate crate. A pallet jack is required to move each
shipping crate to the system location.
Leave each system in its shipping crate until it reaches its final destination. If the
crate does not fit through the planned access route, partially disassemble it.
All systems not shipped in a cabinet should only be lifted by proper computer-lifting
equipment to prevent personal injury and/or damage to system equipment.
The entire access route to your computer room should be free of raised patterns that
can cause vibration, and the route must meet the following requirements:
TABLE 2-5
Minimum door height
Minimum hallway and door width
Minimum elevator depth
Maximum incline
TABLE 2-6
Minimum elevator, pallet jack, and floor loading capacity
