entrance. Ensure that there are no steps from the truck to the installation site.

Ensure that the loading ramp at your site does not exceed an angle of
10 degrees, as shown in the following figure.
A ramp with a maximum angle of 10 degrees must not be higher than 5.4 cm
(2.1 in.) vertically for each 30.5 cm (12 in.) of horizontal length.
Planning for relocation
When unpacking your storage system delivery, be sure to keep original packaging
material, in case it is needed for relocation at a later date.
Shipment weights and dimensions
To help you plan for the delivery of the FlashSystem A9000R, ensure that the
loading dock and receiving area can support the weight and dimensions of the
packaged FlashSystem A9000R shipments.
At least one shipping container is delivered for each FlashSystem A9000R that you
order. The container is a wooden pallet that is covered by a corrugated fiberboard
(cardboard). This container contains the FlashSystem A9000R system rack with
components installed, and other items such as, power cords, CDs and printed
publications, and other features or peripherals for your model. Additional
containers are delivered for optional features such as the rear-door heat exchanger.
Delivery clearance requirements
The clearance measurements (height × width × depth) that are required for
delivery through all doors and elevators are listed in the following table. These
measurements are for the typical height of the pallet. The measurements do not
include more clearance that is needed to raise the pallet on a pallet jack for
movement.
