Moving And Stabilizing A Rack; Single Rack Configuration Floor Space Requirements - HP StorageWorks 6100 - Enterprise Virtual Array User Manual

Moving and stabilizing a rack

WARNING!
The physical size and weight of the rack requires a minimum of two people to move. If one person
tries to move the rack, injury may occur.
To ensure stability of the rack, always push on the lower half of the rack. Be especially careful when
moving the rack over any bump (e.g., door sills, ramp edges, carpet edges, or elevator openings).
When the rack is moved over a bump, there is a potential for it to tip over.
Moving the rack requires a clear, uncarpeted pathway that is at least 80 cm (31.5 in) wide for the
60.3 cm (23.7 in) wide, 42U rack. A vertical clearance of 203.2 cm (80 in) should ensure sufficient
clearance for the 200 cm (78.7 in) high, 42U rack.
CAUTION:
Ensure that no vertical or horizontal restrictions exist that would prevent rack movement without
damaging the rack.
Make sure that all four leveler feet are in the fully raised position. This process will ensure that the
casters support the rack weight and the feet do not impede movement.
Each rack requires an area 600 mm (23.62 in) wide and 1000 mm (39.37 in) deep (see
