IBM 9179-MHB manual Remove all devices in the 32U position and above, Lower the four leveling pads

CAUTION:

Removing components from the upper positions in the rack cabinet improves rack stability during relocation. Follow these general guidelines whenever you relocate a populated rack cabinet within a room or building:

vReduce the weight of the rack cabinet by removing equipment starting at the top of the rack cabinet. When possible, restore the rack cabinet to the configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it. If this configuration is not known, you must observe the following precautions:

–Remove all devices in the 32U position and above.

–Ensure that the heaviest devices are installed in the bottom of the rack cabinet.

–Ensure that there are no empty U-levels between devices installed in the rack cabinet below the 32U level.

vIf the rack cabinet you are relocating is part of a suite of rack cabinets, detach the rack cabinet from the suite.

vInspect the route that you plan to take to eliminate potential hazards.

vVerify that the route that you choose can support the weight of the loaded rack cabinet. Refer to the documentation that comes with your rack cabinet for the weight of a loaded rack cabinet.

vVerify that all door openings are at least 760 x 230 mm (30 x 80 in.).

vEnsure that all devices, shelves, drawers, doors, and cables are secure.

vEnsure that the four leveling pads are raised to their highest position.

vEnsure that there is no stabilizer bracket installed on the rack cabinet during movement.

vDo not use a ramp inclined at more than 10 degrees.

vWhen the rack cabinet is in the new location, complete the following steps:

–Lower the four leveling pads.

–Install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.

–If you removed any devices from the rack cabinet, repopulate the rack cabinet from the lowest position to the highest position.

vIf a long-distance relocation is required, restore the rack cabinet to the configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it. Pack the rack cabinet in the original packaging material, or equivalent. Also lower the leveling pads to raise the casters off of the pallet and bolt the rack cabinet to the pallet.
