CAUTION:
Removing components from the upper positions in the rack cabinet
improves rack stability during relocation. Follow these general
guidelines whenever you relocate a populated rack cabinet within a
room or building:
v
Reduce the weight of the rack cabinet by removing equipment,
starting at the top of the rack cabinet. When possible, restore the rack
cabinet to the configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it. If
this configuration is not known, you must do the following:
– Remove all devices in the 32U position and above.
– Ensure that the heaviest devices are installed in the bottom of the
rack cabinet.
– Ensure that there are no empty U-levels between devices that are
installed in the rack cabinet below the 32U level.
v
If the rack cabinet you are relocating is part of a suite of rack cabinets,
detach the rack cabinet from the suite.
v
Inspect the route that you plan to take to eliminate potential hazards.
v
Verify that the route that you choose can support the weight of the
loaded rack cabinet. Refer to the documentation that comes with your
rack cabinet for the weight of a loaded rack cabinet.
v
Verify that all door openings are at least 760 x 2032 mm (30 x 80 in.).
v
Ensure that all devices, shelves, drawers, doors, and cables are secure.
v
Ensure that the four leveling pads are raised to their highest position.
v
Ensure that there is no stabilizer bracket that is installed on the rack
cabinet during movement.
v
Do not use a ramp that is inclined at more than 10 degrees.
v
When the rack cabinet is in the new location:
– Lower the four leveling pads.
– Install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
– If you removed any devices from the rack cabinet, repopulate the
rack cabinet from the lowest position to the highest position.
v
If a long-distance relocation is required, restore the rack cabinet to the
configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it. Pack the rack
cabinet in the original packaging material, or equivalent. Also, lower
the leveling pads to raise the casters off the pallet and bolt the rack
cabinet to the pallet.
