Use a pallet jack or forklift to move the server from the loading dock to an
appropriate unpacking area. The unpacking area should be a conditioned space away
from the final installation site to reduce airborne particles entering the data center.
After unpacking the server, use four or more people to push the server to its final
installation site. For more information, see
Note – Select an access route free of perforated tiles, as they can damaged by the
server's wheels. Whenever possible, protect the entire access route with heavy
fiberboard or another material that is strong enough to support the nearly 4015 lbs
(1821 kg) maximum weight.
Note – Always use a 3/16-inch (4.8-mm) thick A36 metal plate with beveled edges
as a bridge over holes and gaps in the access route. Otherwise the server's wheels
might get stuck in the gap. For example, always use a metal plate when entering or
exiting an elevator.
The following access route dimensions are the minimum space required to pass
through doors or around obstacles. Add additional space for people or equipment
required to move the server. These dimensions are for flat surfaces only. If the
doorway is located at the top or bottom of an incline, increase the doorway clearance
to 88 inches (2235 mm) for packaged servers and 80 inches (2032 mm) for unpacked
servers.
