Delivery arrangements
Delivery within the United States or Canada is by air-ride truck with custom-designed shipping
material, crate, and pallet. International delivery normally involves air freight.
Unless otherwise instructed, the Dell EMC Traffic Department arranges for delivery directly to the
customer’s computer room. To ensure successful delivery of the system, Dell EMC has formed
partnerships with specially selected moving companies. These companies have moving
professionals trained in the proper handling of large, sensitive equipment and provide the
appropriate personnel, floor layments, and any ancillary moving equipment required to facilitate
delivery. Moving companies should check general guidelines, weights, and dimensions.
NOTICE Inform Dell EMC of any labor union-based restrictions or security clearance
requirements prior to delivery.
Pre-delivery considerations
Take into account the following considerations prior to the delivery at your site:
l
Weight capacities of the loading dock, tailgate, and service elevator if delivery is to a floor
other than the receiving floor.
l
Length and thickness of covering required for floor protection.
l
Equipment ramp availability if the receiving floor is not level with computer room floor.
l
Set up the necessary network and gateway access to accommodate Secure Remote Services
so that it will be available and operable for the installation date.
Moving up and down inclines
To prevent tipping when moving up and down inclines, close all doors and drawers. Push from the
rear of the rack so that the front (side with bezels or a fancy door) goes first.
All portions of the bay will 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.
