Receiving delivery
The shipping carrier is responsible for delivering and unloading the storage system
as close to its final destination as possible. You must ensure that your loading
ramp and your receiving area can accommodate your storage system shipment.
Before you begin
Ensure you read the following caution when you position the rack. If you are
relocating the frame, ease it out of its current position and pull out the outriggers
for the remaining major part of the relocation. Roll the rack on its castors until you
get close to its intended location. Keep the supplemental outriggers in position as
shown in the following image. When the rack is near the final location, you can
recede the outriggers back into the recessed position, flush with the outsides of the
rack. The outriggers are only intended to help move the rack and are not intended
to support the rack in its final location. To prevent unintended movement and
ensure stability of the rack, you can put down the leveler jacks.
CAUTION: The rack cabinet is supplied with native built-in extendable outriggers with small
floating supplemental castors as motion anti-tip features. They must all be extended into a latched
position before and during cabinet movement or relocation. These native built-in outriggers must
not be removed completely, but rather recessed in when finished to ensure they are readily
available for future use. (C050)
