Move the System to its Allocated Space

It is preferred that at least three people push and guide the rack: one person in front and two persons in back to help guide the rack and keep people out of the path of the moving rack. When transporting configured racks from one location to another, take care to move them slowly, 0.65 meters per second (2.13 feet per second) or slower.

Carefully examine the transportation path. Avoid obstacles such as doorways or elevator thresholds that can cause abrupt stops or shocks. Go around obstacles by using ramps or lifts to enable smooth transport.

WARNING:

Never attempt to move a Private Cloud Appliance by pushing on the rack side panels. Pushing on the rack side panels can tip over the rack. This action can cause serious personal injury or death, as well as damage to the equipment.

  1. Ensure that the rack doors are closed and secured.

  2. Ensure that the leveling and stabilizing feet on the rack are raised and out of the way.

  3. Push the system from the back of the rack to the installation site.

    The front casters of the rack are fixed; they do not pivot. Steer the unit using the rear casters. You can safely maneuver the system by carefully pushing it from behind.

    Caution:

    Never tip or rock the Private Cloud Appliance because the rack can fall over.

  4. When the rack is at the installation site, verify that no components or connections have become dislodged or disconnected during transport. If necessary, re-attach components and cables properly.
