Shipment Weights And Dimensions - IBM DS8900F Introduction And Planning Manual

Shipment weights and dimensions

You must ensure that your loading dock and receiving area can support the weight and dimensions of the
packaged storage system shipments.
You receive at least two, and up to three, shipping containers for each model that you order. You always
receive the following items:
• For model 993, a container with the storage system modules, or for models 994, 996, and E96, a
container with the storage system frame. In the People's Republic of China (including Hong Kong S.A.R.
of China), India, and Brazil, this container has a plywood front door on the package, with a corrugated
paperboard outer wrap. In all other countries, this container is a pallet that is covered by a corrugated
fiberboard (cardboard) cover
• A container with the remaining components, such as power cords, CDs, and other ordered features or
peripheral devices for your storage system.
Table 41 on page 80 shows the final packaged dimensions and maximum packaged weight of the
storage system frame shipments.
To calculate the weight of your total shipment, add the weight of each frame container and the weight of
one ship group container for each frame.
