Maintenance Access Requirements - Oracle EXADATA X6-2 Installation And Configuration Manual

If your loading dock meets the height and ramp requirements for a standard freight
carrier truck, then you can use a pallet jack to unload the rack. If the loading dock does
not meet the requirements, then you must provide a standard forklift or other means to
unload the rack. You can also request that the rack be shipped in a truck with a lift
gate.
When Oracle Exadata Rack arrives, leave the rack in its shipping packaging until it
arrives at its installation site. Use a conditioned space to remove the packaging
material to reduce particles before entering the data center. The entire access route to
the installation site should be free of raised-pattern flooring that can cause vibration.
Allow enough space for unpacking it from its shipping cartons. Ensure that there is
enough clearance and clear pathways for moving Oracle Exadata Rack from the
unpacking location to the installation location.

required access space. For example, the required space to remove the side panels is

the longest chassis supported in the rack, plus the distance the rails need to travel out
to install and remove equipment from the front. Rear access space requirement is the
space needed for a person working behind the Oracle Exadata Rack. Top access
space requirement is for a person standing on a ladder to be able service components
installed in the top of the rack.
