Path to Final Location

This section address obstructions or hindrances along the route from the unpacking
site to the final location.

Security Systems

The path to the final location might need the Sun Datacenter Switch 3456 to move
through a secure area. Sensors for intrusion, movement, doors opening, and so on,
must be disabled, or else a false alarm might sound.
Consider the impact of the path to the final location on the security of the building.
Are the personnel entering or passing through an area that they are not authorized
to do so?
Consult with the security services before moving the Sun Datacenter Switch 3456.
This way, security is not surprised if intrusion and door alarms are activated.
Additionally, security might be able to provide an alternative route that has less
impact to building security.

Signage

If the path to the final location has high foot traffic, consider posting signs and
providing email informing personnel of the move. This action alerts uninvolved
personnel to avoid the path, which eases the movement of the Sun Datacenter
Switch 3456 and reduces the possibility of complications or injuries.

Carpets

The Sun Datacenter Switch 3456 chassis will not roll on carpet without great effort.
Plan a path to the final location that avoids carpeted areas. If carpeting cannot be
avoided, place sheet metal or masonite panels over the carpeting to make the chassis
roll more easily.
You do not need to place panels on the entire carpeted path. Use enough to support
the chassis and provide the chassis a surface to roll on. For example, if you use 3 ft x
5 ft (0.91 m x 1.52 m) masonite panels, three panels will support the chassis, while a
