Because of the dimensions and the weight of the racks, check with carriers for their
limitations before dispatching.
Land Transport
All racks can be shipped by common carriers. Carriers providing air ride capabilities
are preferred. Ship racks upright on their pallets. Do not lay the racks horizontally or
double-stack them. Because of the dimensions and the weight of the racks, please
check with carriers for their restrictions before dispatching.
Sea Transport
All racks can be transported by sea, but it takes four to six weeks for the shipment to
arrive. Ship racks upright on their pallets. Do not lay the racks horizontally or
double-stack them.
Delivery Services
HP provides two methods of delivery for customers in North America: Inside Rack
Delivery Service and Expedited Rack Delivery Service. If you want both Inside Rack
Delivery and Expedited Rack Delivery, you must specify both part numbers on your
purchase order.
Inside Rack Delivery Service
Inside Rack Delivery Service (Part No. 184649-001) is available for receiving sites
that do not have the proper facilities for the standard dock-to-dock delivery, or when
you need delivery to a specific location within a site. The rack is transported as close
as possible to the desired location. If a stairway or a non-accessible doorway is
encountered, the rack is left there.
Highlights
• The palletized rack is unloaded by transportation personnel.
• Transportation personnel provide material-handling equipment.
