Several factors must be considered before moving the system to
the installation site.
Prior to moving the system to the installation site, you should:
- Determine the path that must be taken to move the system from the delivery
location to the installation site.
- You should verify that the height of all doorways, elevators, and so on
are sufficient to allow moving the system to the installation site.
- Verify that the weight limitations of elevators, ramps, floors, floor
tiles, and so on are sufficient to allow moving the system to the installation
site. If the height or weight of the system can cause a problem when the system
is moved to the installation site, you should contact your local site planning
or sales representative.
For more detailed information, see
the Access chapter of the Site Preparation and Physical Planning Guide,
SA76-0103.
If needed, a height reduction feature (0126 for
System i® and
System i,
and 7960 for
System p® and
System p) may be ordered.
This feature allows for the system frame (both
System i,
System i,
System p,
and
System p) and
the expansion frame (
System p and
System p only) to be shipped
in two pieces and assembled at your location. With this feature, the top section
of the system frame (including the power subsystem) is removed. The height
of the system frame with the upper section removed is reduced by .35 m (14
in.) to approximately 1.64 m (65 in.). For planning purposes, the weight of
the rack top frame and components are shown in the following table.

Delivery
and subsequent transportation of the equipment
DANGER
Heavy equipment—personal injury or equipment
damage might result if mishandled. (D006)
You must prepare
your environment to accept the new product based on the installation planning
information provided, with assistance from an IBM® Installation
Planning Representative (IPR) or IBM authorized service provider. In
anticipation of the equipment delivery, prepare the final installation site
in advance so that professional movers or riggers can transport the equipment
to the final installation site within the computer room. If for some reason,
this is not possible at the time of delivery, you must make arrangements to
have professional movers or riggers return to finish the transportation at
a later date. Only professional movers or riggers should transport the equipment.
The IBM authorized service provider can only perform
minimal frame repositioning within the computer room, as needed, to perform
required service actions. You are also responsible for using professional
movers or riggers when you relocate or dispose of equipment.
