If you plan to ship a rack containing installed equipment, you must pack the rack in the enterprise packaging. You cannot reuse the standard packaging.
See Rack Packaging for more information about the packaging options.
Caution - The standard packaging was designed solely for shipping an empty rack. Never install equipment in the rack while it is on this pallet, and never repack a rack in the standard packaging. If you must populate the rack prior to moving it to a new building or site, repack the rack in the enterprise packaging. Contact your sales representative for information about ordering empty enterprise packaging. |
Caution - When moving the rack to a new location, including repacking, verify that the leveling feet are up before moving the rack. |
For this procedure, you need the following tools, which you can find in the enterprise packaging shipping kit:
SW 17-mm wrench
6-mm hexagon Allen wrench key
You also need:
Torque wrench
3 people to push the rack onto the pallet
Stretch plastic wrap
You need at least 4451 mm (15 ft) of floor space from the front edge of the pallet in order to safely roll the rack onto the pallet.
Do not discard these bolts, because you use them to secure the ramps back to the pallet.
When you install these ramps, the bolts should touch the floor and support the weight of the rack.
Lower the ramps to the floor to secure the ramps to the pallet.
There are two locks per ramp. If necessary, adjust the bottom ramp bolts until they reach the floor.
Caution - When moving the rack to a new location, including repacking, verify that the leveling feet are up before moving the rack. |
Ensure that you push the rack from the rear and orient the rack on the tracks as marked, with the front of rack on the side pallet opposite of the ramps (note the “FRONT of RACK” markings on the pallet).
Flip the ramp locks onto the track in the unlocked position so they are out of the way. Save these ramps in a safe location.
The number of bolts and the type of shipping bracket can vary. Use the shipping bracket hardware included with the enterprise packaging.
Caution - Shipping brackets are not for use for bracing or anchoring the rack during seismic events. |
Secure the brackets to the rack at 12.654 Nm (112 in.-lbf) of torque.
Secure each bolt to the pallet at 7.457 Nm (66 in.-lbf) of torque.
Secure each bolt to the pallet at 7.457 Nm (66 in.-lbf) of torque.
Ensure that the bag covers the rack completely.
When oriented correctly, the sides of the top cap should align with the sides of the pallet.
The small flaps of the sleeves fold inside the outer carton.
Ensure that the bands are tight and properly fitted to the carton.
