If more clearance is needed for FlashSystem A9000R or racks the height-reduced
shipping (feature code AFR2) should be ordered to reduce the height of the rack.
When the height-reduced feature is ordered, the top cover is removed before the
®
IBM FlashSystem A9000R is moved to its final location by professional movers.
The top cover must be installed during the IBM FlashSystem A9000R installation.
If tilting or weight-reduction is needed for IBM FlashSystem A9000R or rack
shipment, the weight-reduced shipping (feature code AFR3) should be ordered to
reduce the weight of the rack.
When the weight-reduced feature is ordered grid controllers and flash enclosures
are shipped separately: this allows the rack to be tilted as much as necessary in
order to fit under low doorways. As a result, these components must be installed
during IBM FlashSystem A9000R installation.
IBM FlashSystem A9000R arrives fully assembled with all components in place,
unless the weight or height reduced shipping options is ordered.
If the site does not meet the delivery clearances and the height-reduced shipping is
ordered, the doors, side panels, and rack top cover of the rack must be removed
before moving to the final location.
