Thresholds and Gaps
The path to the final location might have building expansion joint gaps, carpet
runners, door thresholds, or other inconsistencies in an otherwise smooth surface.
When these obstructions cannot be avoided, use metal plates or masonite panels to
compensate for the irregularities. If a gap is too great, or a threshold too high, the
panel might break. In this situation, an alternative path to the final location must be
found.
Path
Surface
The path, regardless of surface, should be clean and free of any obstructions.
Obstructions include trash, cables, fasteners (screws, nuts, paper clips, thumbtacks,
tie wraps, and so on), any scrap (pencils, pens, papers, and so on), or small object
that might hinder movement. A quick sweeping of the path to the final location
before moving the Sun Datacenter Switch 3456 can remove most objects that might
later prove troublesome.
Turns
Ensure that any turns in the path to the final location allow unhindered movement
of the chassis. Avoid narrow hallways and tight turns, because they create
opportunities for injury.
Check the path before moving the Sun Datacenter Switch 3456. If you are in doubt of
the chassis’ ability to navigate a certain section of a building, a make-shift
framework, constructed of duct-taped sticks for example, can give an idea of the
path’s viability. Walk the framework through the path to the final location. If there is
any situation where the framework binds, then the chassis will also.
If a tight turn cannot be avoided, consider adding protection to the walls of the
inside corners of the turn. Additionally, consider adding protection to the corners of
the Sun Datacenter Switch 3456 chassis.
