Moving and Positioning the Base Cabinet
You must install the Sun StorEdge 6920 system in accordance with the local safety
codes and regulations. This section contains additional safety information for the
local facility.
1. Measure cabling distances to ensure that the supplied cable is adequate.
The grounding cable for the cabinet is 6.5 feet (~2 meters) long.
Refer to the product specifications in Appendix C when you are determining where
to place the cabinet.
2. Move the base cabinet into position.
Caution – A fully configured base cabinet weighs in excess of 1400 pounds (635 kg).
Ensure that all surfaces this system will move over can withstand this load.
Additionally, the cabinet is top heavy, even when you order the minimum
configuration. Keep this in mind when moving the system.
The base cabinet has wheels. Plan to have two to three people available to move the
cabinet into position, one to push the system off the pallet onto the ramp, and the
others to offer resistance so that the cabinet does not roll. Make sure there is
adequate space in front of the cabinet to ensure that it will not roll into anything.
Move the cabinet slowly and make sure the floor is free of objects and cables.
