Delivery and Subsequent Transportation of the Equipment
You must prepare your environment to accept the new product based on the installation planning information
provided, with assistance from an IBM Installation Planning Representative (IPR) or IBM authorized service
provider. In anticipation of the equipment delivery, prepare the final installation site in advance so that
professional movers or riggers can transport the equipment to the final installation site within the computer
room. If for some reason, this is not possible at the time of delivery, you must make arrangements to have
professional movers or riggers return to finish the transportation at a later date. Only professional movers or
riggers should transport the equipment. The IBM authorized service provider can only perform minimal frame
repositioning within the computer room, as needed, to perform required service actions. You are also
responsible for using professional movers or riggers when you relocate or dispose of equipment.
Rack Relocation
Observe the following precautions when you need to relocate your rack:
• Before you add or remove drawers, always lower the leveling feet and install the anti-tip plates, or have
the rack bolted to the floor.
• Always install drawers at the bottom of the rack first.
• Always remove drawers from the top of the rack first.
• Always install the heaviest drawers on the bottom of the rack.
• Never push on the sides of the rack.
• When relocating the DCS9900 rack with 1269-3S1 draws installed, the hard drives installed in the
drawers must be removed to avoid a side-to-side tip-over hazard.
Safe Handling
Do not try to lift the enclosure by yourself.
An enclosure can weigh from 9 kg (19.8 lb) to 37 kg (77.6 lb).
Before removing an enclosure from a rack cabinet, always first remove all modules and drives from the
enclosure to minimize weight.
