Moving and unpacking the equipment
The following topics describe how to move and unpack SAN256N director equipment for
North American and international shipments.
North American shipments
When the SAN256N director is shipped within the United States and Canada, a
transportation carrier is used who specializes in moving and transporting electronic and
electronic ESD-sensitive equipment.
For detailed information describing the transportation carrier’s responsibilities, refer to
the IBM TotalStorage SAN n-type Director Series Site Planning Guide.
Moving the equipment
Refer to the SAN256N director Site Planning Grid for the customer’s building, floor, and
room destination for the SAN256N director. This worksheet is completed during the site
planning process.
The customer or shipping carrier (noted on the sales order) is responsible for
transporting the SAN256N director equipment to its final destination location at the
customer’s site, before removing the protective plastic shipping bag.
IBM recommends that a minimum of two people unpack and move the SANC40 cabinet.
Important: When the SAN256N director is shipped in conditions of extreme (high/low)
temperature and/or humidity, allow 24 hours for environmental stabilization of the
SAN256N director chassis and/or cabinet at room temperature. This 24-hour
environmental stabilization period must be accomplished in the room/area where the
installation will take place. The ESD bag/shipping materials must be removed to allow
proper environmental stability prior to the installation of the SAN256N director system.
