Shipping Crate Physical Specifications
Ideally, the data center and loading dock should be located in close proximity to one another. The access allowances for the path from the loading dock to the data center must include:
A minimum 87-inch (221-cm) height
A minimum 37-inch (94-cm) width (greater is recommended)
The system chassis and factory-installed components ship in a single container on a pallet. The system must be kept in a vertical, upright position at all times while in its shipping container. Ensure that the equipment and personnel unloading the chassis shipping container can accommodate the shipping dimensions and weight of the container. See Standard Shipping Crate Physical Specifications for shipping container and weight specifications.
If there is a significant temperature or humidity difference between the system and the data center environment, keep the system in its shipping container in a location that has a similar temperature and humidity environment to the data center. Wait at least 24 hours before removing the system from its shipping container to prevent thermal shock and condensation.
Provide a room that is separate from the data center in which to open equipment cartons and to repack hardware when you install and remove parts. Avoid unpacking the cartons in the data center. Dirt and dust from the packing materials can contaminate the data center.
