Packaging configurations

XP disk array racks are shipped in one of three standard packaging configurations:
• Environmental pack (XP24000 only)— consists of stretch wrap over corner protectors. No special
tools or procedures are required to unpack shipments in this form. This packaging is used for most
shipments within the USA that are direct from the factory to the customer. HP uses special carriers
with a dedicated fleet of trucks and specially trained personnel.
• Full packaging — consists of a pallet, wooden loading ramp, inner packaging, and outer corrug-
ated carton assembly.
• Full packaging with wooden crate — consists of full packaging encased in a wooden crate.

Unpacking procedure

If you need to unpack the equipment without HP supervision, follow the instructions in this section.
CAUTION:
Be very careful when handling the equipment. Do not drop the equipment from a height of more than
0.5 cm (0.2 inch). Floor unevenness must be less than 1 cm (0.4 inch).
WARNING!
The equipment racks are very heavy. To avoid injury, use appropriate lifting tools and have three
people unpack and move the equipment.
CAUTION:
Any movement of the equipment by forklift should be done prior to unpacking. The carton assembly
provides the most secure support of the equipment during movement. Transporting the equipment by
forklift after the packaging carton has been removed is not advisable.
CAUTION:
The equipment racks are top heavy and contain very sensitive electronic and mechanical components.
When moving on frame casters, the rolling surface must be able to support the equipment weight and
must be free of surface conditions that could cause shock or vibration to the rack contents.
