General Site Requirements and Recommendations
When planning your installation of the Cisco R42612 rack, consider the following:
-
The unpacking and installation process requires three logistical steps: -
Unloading the unit from the vehicle in which it is shipped
-
Using a forklift or similar device to move the unit to an unpacking site
-
Moving the unpacked unit to the installation site
-
-
Select an unpacking location with adequate surrounding space for the unloading process. You must allow for the pallet.
-
Choose an installation site that can accommodate the Cisco R42612 rack. To provide for future installation of a joined configuration, you should plan enough space for additional cabinets that occupy the same amount of space as the initial cabinet.
-
Make sure you have enough people to help you safely unload and install the system. A fully-loaded cabinet can weigh over 3000 lb (1360.8 kg) and moving it can present dangers to both personnel and the incorporate equipment.
-
Plan a smooth and unobstructed route from the off-loading site to the installation site. You should only move the rack when it is empty of all equipment.
-
Imperfections or obstructions in the floor between the unloading and installation site might hamper the movement of the unit. If you encounter an obstacle such as a sill or carpet, exercise care in navigating over it.
-
Verify that you have adequate standard tools on hand.
-
Ensure that your site contains an adequate power infrastructure.
