1.4 Receiving, Unpacking, and Access Route Requirements

Before your Oracle Exadata Rack arrives, ensure that the receiving area is large enough for the package.

Use the following package dimensions for Oracle Exadata Rack:

• Shipping height: 2159 mm (85 inches)
• Shipping width: 1219 mm (48 inches)
• Shipping depth: 1575 mm (62 inches)

If your loading dock meets the height and ramp requirements for a standard freight carrier truck, then you can use a pallet jack to unload the rack. If the loading dock does not meet the requirements, then you must provide a standard forklift or other means to unload the rack. You can also request that the rack be shipped in a truck with a lift gate.

When Oracle Exadata Rack arrives, leave the rack in its shipping packaging until it arrives at its installation site. Use a conditioned space to remove the packaging material to reduce particles before entering the data center. The entire access route to the installation site should be free of raised-pattern flooring that can cause vibration.

Allow enough space for unpacking it from its shipping cartons. Ensure that there is enough clearance and clear pathways for moving Oracle Exadata Rack from the unpacking location to the installation location.

Caution:

Prior to moving the rack, always make sure that all four leveling and stabilizing feet are raised and out of the way.
