  • Page 13: Unpacking

    Unpacking and Moving the Rackmount Unpacking The following sections describe where and how to unpack the rackmount. Where to Unpack the Rackmount Where you unpack the rackmount is dependent upon whether or not your facility has adequate door clearance to move it to the site without tilting it. If your facility has adequate door clearance, use a forklift to move the rackmount to the site before removing the packing material and rolling it off the pallet.

  • Page 14: How To Unpack The Rackmount

    Unpacking and Moving the Rackmount How to Unpack the Rackmount To unpack the rackmount: Remove the four corrugated corners, and then the plastic bag from the rackmount (see Figure 1-1). We recommend saving the packing material in case the unit needs to be repacked at a later date. The 800mm rackmount is banded to the skid.

  • Page 18: Tilting The Rackmount

    Unpacking and Moving the Rackmount 3. Roll the rackmount to the site. 4. Using a wrench, lower the leveling feet (turn the leveling feet clockwise). CAUTION: Make sure the rackmount is level and that its full weight rests on the leveling feet and not the rollers. Tilting the Rackmount If the rackmount must be tilted to gain access through a door, it is recommended that it be tilted backward to keep the shelves from sliding against the front door.
