Loading Dock and Receiving Area Requirements
Before the server arrives, ensure that the receiving area is large enough for the
shipping package.
If your loading dock meets the height and ramp requirements for a standard freight
carrier truck, you can use a pallet jack to unload the server. If the loading dock does
not meet the requirements, provide a standard forklift or other means to unload the
server. Alternatively, you can request that the server be shipped in a truck with a lift
gate.
When the server arrives, leave the server in its shipping container until it arrives at
suitable area to unpack it. To avoid introducing airborne contaminates to the data
center, unpack the server outside of the data center and then move the server to its
final location.
Note – Acclimatization: If the shipping container is very cold or hot, place the
unopened container in an environment similar to the data center overnight, or as
long as 24 hours, until the container reaches the same temperature of the data center.
Never place the unopened shipping container inside the data center.

Access Route Guidelines
Carefully plan the access route from the loading dock to the location where you will
unpack the server, and then to its final installation site. Check for any gaps,
obstructions, or irregularities in the floor throughout the access route. The entire
access route should be free of raised patterns that can cause vibration.
