This section describes about the presite plan for DLm system installation.
When planning the installation site for your DLm system, meet with your Dell EMC
representative to complete the presite plan.
The physical and environmental specifications section provides overall system
dimensions for the following DLm systems:
DLm8500 with Data Domain and ECS
l
DLm8500 with PowerMax and ECS

This section describes about the general considerations that must take care before
DLm system installation.
Before installing the DLm system at your site, consider these factors:
Weight capacities of the service elevator if delivery is to another floor.
l
Availability of an equipment ramp if the receiving floor is not on the same level as
l
the computer room floor.
Note: All portions of the cabinet should clear ramp and threshold slopes up to
1:10 (rise to run ratio), per Code of Federal Regulations – ADA Standards for
Accessible Design, 28 CFR Part 36.
Weight capacities of the loading dock
l
Weight capacities of the tailgate
l
Other requirements are:
Appropriate floor covering for protection
l
Hardware power requirements

This section describes about transportation and delivery guidelines.
Mode of transport guidelines:
For all DLm systems delivered within the United States or Canada, Dell EMC
l
recommends an air-ride truck.
All DLm systems are wrapped in custom-designed shipping material. Also, the DLm
l
system may be crated and palletized.
For all DLm systems delivered internationally, Dell EMC recommends shipment by
l
air freight. Unless otherwise instructed, the Dell EMC Traffic Department arranges
for delivery directly to the computer room.
To ensure successful delivery of DLm systems, Dell EMC has formed partnerships with
specially selected moving companies. These companies have moving professionals
that are trained to properly handle large, sensitive systems. These companies provide
