General site requirements

The customer site must accommodate the delivery and movement of the equipment
from the receiving dock to the installation location in the data center.

Equipment clearances

Receiving area
The receiving dock, storage area, and receiving area must be large enough to allow
movement of and access to crated or packed equipment.
Other areas
The hallways, doorways, ramps and elevators must be wide enough to allow a single
unpacked rack to be moved to the installation location. If there is insufficient space for
unpacking, the storage systems are typically unpacked in the receiving area and the
individual racks with pre-installed equipment are rolled into the data center. For
information about rack dimensions, refer to the Hitachi Universal V2 Rack Reference Guide.

Equipment weight

The floors, elevators, and ramps must be able to support the weight of the delivered
equipment as it is moved to the installation location. Spreader plates can be a
prerequisite for distributing the load and protecting the floor as the equipment is moved
from the receiving area to the installation location. Consult the system bill of materials to
establish the approximate weight of the equipment. See the next paragraph for
information about calculating the exact weight of the equipment.
