Unpacking Systems

Racked Oracle FS Systems are shipped to the customer site with all components (Controllers, Pilots, and Drive Enclosures) and internal cables fully assembled and integrated into the rack. A fork lift must be used to move the shipping pallet to the specified site in the data center.

The shipping pallet is designed so that the rack can only be unloaded in one direction. Orient the shipping container so that the label RAMPS ATTACH THIS SIDE is off-loaded from the pallet. When you roll the rack off the shipping pallet, you will need a total distance of at least 15 feet or 4.5 meters for safe maneuvering.

Note: The fork lift must only be used on the specified side of the shipping pallet to avoid causing damage to the system.

You can unpack the contents of the pallet following the rack unpacking instructions that is located in the packaging. Unpack the cartons carefully and dispose the packaging materials. Remove the system record, packing list, and other instructional documents from the cartons and keep them aside for reference.

The following tools are included in the shipping pallet:

Oracle FS Systems that use the X5-2 Pilots and have a gap of one rack unit (RU) or more, will have a 1 RU cable trough (PN: 7098533) installed directly below the bottom Pilot. The cable trough provides support to the bottom Pilot during transportation to the customer’s facility and can be removed or left in place after the racked system is installed at the customer data center.

The following diagram shows an Oracle FS System configuration with a cable trough that is located at RU 20 in the rack.

Legend
1 Cable trough long lip that is secured under the bottom Pilot 3 Trough section that faces the back of the rack
2 M6 cage nuts and M6 Phillips screws that secure the cable trough 4 Cable trough

The cable trough device is installed on the rear vertical rails with the long lip below the Pilot. The shorter trough section faces the back of the rack. A 1U filler panel is installed in the front of the rack in the same RU location as the cable trough. To remove the cable trough from the rack, unscrew the four M6 cage nuts and the four M6 Phillips screws that secure the cable trough to the rear vertical rails of the Pilot.

Note: Make sure that you verify all the components against the packing list that is pasted on the container.
Tip: Check the packing materials to verify that you have retrieved all the small parts before recycling.
Caution
The maximum weight of the racked storage system is 1970 lb (894 kg). Three people are required to off-load the rack: two at the front and one at the back.
