Transportation Instructions

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.
