Delivery Considerations

The following list is only a sampling of the many delivery considerations available.
For more information, visit the Best Practices Web page at
When preparing to receive palletized racks, consider the following:
•
The dock door at the receiving site has to accommodate the height and width of
palletized racks.
IMPORTANT: The 42U-palletized rack is approximately 216.87 cm (85.38 inches) high
and does not fit through a standard-height door.
•
Do not lay a rack on its side, because the sheet metal can become distorted.
•
Transport a rack as far into the building as possible while it is still on the pallet.
Ideally, move the palletized rack to its final destination before removing the rack
from the pallet, or removing any of the packaging.

Installation Sequence Summary

The following is a recommended sequence of events for the most efficient
installation of your rack and components.
1. Download the Rack Builder Online software from the HP website and install it
on your system. Using the Rack Builder Online software, plan the rack
component location and installation sequence.
2. Select a location to set up your rack. This location should be as close as possible
to the permanent site for your rack.
3. Remove the packaging from the rack and verify the hardware contents.
4. Remove any doors and panels from the rack to provide easy access.
5. Stabilize the rack.
6. Bay multiple racks together.
7. Install products such as Power Distribution Units (PDUs) or switch boxes in
sidewall locations.
