Moving the system to the installation site

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.
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 Access.

If needed, a height reduction feature ( 7960 for ) might be ordered. This feature allows for the system frame and the expansion frame 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.
