If you have restricted height doorways, you have several alternatives for purchasing HP factory

racked solutions that can accommodate the height of the doorways without the need to depopulate

the HP MCS.

If you have restricted doorways:

• You can order racked solutions in an appropriate sized HP MCS that can be accommodated by the

doorways. Choose the rack size that best meets your datacenter needs while at the same time

being able to pass all doorways on the path to the HP MCS final location.

• An HP MCS that is unable to pass fully loaded through the doorway, options include:

– Ordering an empty HP MCS and purchasing installation services from HP Services.

– For BCS midrange servers with included installation services, you can order an empty HP MCS

and order the server with the field installation option.

• With included site preparation service, the best way to locate the system to its final location is

recommended.

Airfreight

Because the HP MCS cannot be safely tipped or placed on its side during transit or storage, air cargo

doors must have height sufficient for the HP MCS to be loaded and removed without tipping. Consult

your freight forwarder for available aircraft configurations that satisfy your particular HP MCS height.

Typical HP products that are classified as Magnetized Material are those with arc-welded frames that

contain a large mass of ferrous metal. For example, most HP MCSs or cabinets will usually test in the

low to mid-range of the regulatory limits and be classified as Magnetized Material. In the past, high-

end (floor standing) disk drives were regulated due to the large motors they contained; however, as

the size of the drives has been reduced, so has the size of the motors. Disk drives alone are no longer

regulated, but may be loaded into an HP MCS that is.

Magnetized Material are regulated as Dangerous Goods under Class 9, "Miscellaneous Dangerous

Goods," and have been assigned the United Nations identification number, UN2807. These goods

are only regulated when transported by air due to their potential for interference with aircraft

instrumentation. Shipments must be properly marked, labeled and documented to be legally accepted

by an air carrier for transport.

In all cases of air shipments, a Shipper Declaration is required (see Figure 11). This sample is an

internal HP document. If access is needed, please ask your local HP service representative to contact

the Rack Program management organization within HP.
