the requirements for preparing the installation site before the rear-door heat
exchanger feature can be installed.
Weight-reduced shipping option
This information describes the Weight Reduction shipping option for the storage
system, feature code AFR3.
IBM offers weight reduced shipping for all IBM FlashSystem A9000R system
configurations. This optional feature provides that the weight of the rack is only
approximately 440 kg (970 lb) for traversal at the delivery site.
This option is ordered for installations where receiving an assembled storage unit,
or ordering feature code AFR2 would be impractical, due to greater weight
limitations.
The unit is delivered fully tested but partially disassembled into several easily
transported subassemblies. This feature allows racks to be safely transported on
lower weight capacity elevators.
At the installation site the system is unpacked by IBM technicians, and the front
door, rear door and side covers are temporarily removed so that the rack assembly
can then be carried up stairs, hoisted via crane through windows, tipped to fit
through low doorways, and rolled through low doorways in the customer's facility.
At the final destination, all devices that were shipped separately can be installed.
A fully configured FlashSystem A9000R system, including packaging, weighs
approximately 986 kg (2174 lbs).
Attention: The storage system must not be tilted more than 10 degrees.
Note:
This option greatly increases the system installation time. Onsite
coordination is needed for both the IBM service representative and the professional
movers.
Height reduced shipping option
This information describes the Height Reduction shipping option for IBM
FlashSystem A9000R, feature code AFR2.
If your site does not meet the delivery clearances that are shown in “Rack
dimensions and service clearance requirements” on page 22, the height reduced
shipping option can be ordered to reduce the height of the rack by 30 cm (11.8 in.)
