1-12 Stratus ftServer V 100, V 200, and V 400 Systems: Site Planning Guide (R543)
Moving the System to the Installation Site
Before moving your system to the installation site, you should do the following:
NOTE
Moving the system requires two able-bodied persons.
1. Obtain a forklift or pallet jack to move your system from the delivery area to the
installation site.
2. Check the dimensions of doorways and the load capacities of floors and elevators.
You should walk the path over which you will move the system to ensure that it can
be easily moved to the installation site. If your system will not fit through the
doorways, you may need to arrange for rigging.
NOTE
Each cabinet is shipped on a pallet that is slightly larger
than a standard door opening. A standard door opening is
35 in. (89 cm) wide, and all pallets are 41.0 in. (104.2 cm)
wide by 53.0 in. (134.6 cm) deep.
3. If you are moving the system across a raised floor, lay plywood on the raised floor
to prevent floor tiles from popping up when you move the system.
4. Move the system as close to the installation site as possible.
Working with Other Groups
After you complete your site planning analysis, you may want to discuss your
requirements with a person from your building facilities and HVAC group. Provide your
facilities group and/or contractors with the floor-plan sketch and copies of the following:
Table 2-1 and Table 2-2, which provide information for determining power and
HVAC requirements
Appendix B, ‘‘Electrical Circuit and Wiring Information”
Any notes you have taken about site planning
Review and discuss the requirements with the facilities personnel and/or contractors to
ensure that all site modifications are understood and implemented.
If you have any questions about the number and types of components, contact your
Stratus account executive or distributor.
During the site planning and preparation processes, work closely with your facilities
group or contractor to determine space, power, and environmental requirements. Enlist
