Statement 10:
CAUTION:
Removing components from the upper positions in the Enterprise Rack
cabinet improves rack stability during relocation. Follow these general
guidelines whenever you relocate a populated rack cabinet within a room or
building:
v
Reduce the weight of the rack cabinet by removing equipment starting at
the top of the rack cabinet. When possible, restore the rack cabinet to the
configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it. If this configuration is
not known, you must do the following:
– Remove all devices in the 32U position and above.
– Ensure that the heaviest devices are installed in the bottom of the rack
cabinet.
– Ensure that there are no empty U-levels between devices installed in the
rack cabinet below the 32U level.
v If the rack cabinet you are relocating is part of a suite of rack cabinets,
detach the rack cabinet from the suite.
v
Inspect the route that you plan to take to eliminate potential hazards.
v Make sure that the route that you choose can support the weight of the
loaded rack cabinet. Refer to the documentation that comes with your rack
cabinet for the weight of a loaded rack cabinet.
v
Make sure that all door openings are at least 760 x 2030 MM. (30 x 80 in.)
v
Ensure that all devices, shelves, drawers, doors, and cables are secure.
v
Ensure that the four leveling pads are raised to their highest position.
v
Ensure that there is no stabilizer bracket installed on the rack cabinet.
v Do not use a ramp inclined at more than ten degrees.
v
Once the rack cabinet is in the new location, do the following:
– Lower the four leveling pads.
– Install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
– If you removed any devices from the rack cabinet, repopulate the rack
cabinet from the lowest position to the highest position.
If a long distance relocation is required, restore the rack cabinet to the
configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it. Pack the rack cabinet in
the original packaging material, or equivalent. Also, lower the leveling pads to
raise the casters off of the pallet and bolt the rack cabinet to the pallet.
