Delivery Considerations
The following list is only a sampling of the many delivery considerations available.
For more information, visit the Best Practices web page at
www.hp.com.
When preparing to receive palletized racks, consider the following:
• The dock door at the receiving site has to accommodate the height and width of
palletized racks.
• Do not lay a rack on its side because the sheet metal can become distorted.
Transport a rack as far into the building as possible while it is still on the pallet.
Ideally, move the palletized rack to its final destination before removing the rack
from the pallet or removing any of the packaging.
Installation Overview
The following is the recommended sequence of events for the most efficient
installation of your rack and components.
1. Install the Rack Builder Online software from the HP website. Using the Rack
Builder Online software, plan the rack component location and installation
sequence.
2. Select a location to set up your rack. This should be as close as possible to the
permanent site for your rack.
3. Remove the packaging from the rack and verify the hardware contents.
4. Remove any doors and panels from the rack to provide easy access.
5. Stabilize the rack.
6. Bay multiple racks together.
7. Install products such as Power Distribution Units (PDUs) or switch boxes in
sidewall locations.
8. Install products such as Uninterruptible Power System (UPS) units starting from
the bottom of the rack.
