General site requirements

The customer site must accommodate the delivery and movement of the equipment from the
receiving dock to the installation location in the data center.

Equipment clearances

Receiving area: The receiving dock, storage area, and receiving area must be large enough to
allow movement of and access to crated or packed equipment. The dimensions of a shipping
crate for a single rack are shown in the following table.

NOTE: P9500 disk array racks are shipped in one of three standard packaging configurations:
Environmental pack - This packaging configuration consists of stretch wrap over corner
protectors. Environmental pack is used for most shipments within the USA that are shipped
directly from the factory to the customer. Hewlett Packard Enterprise uses authorized carriers
with a dedicated fleet of trucks and specially trained personnel for Environmental pack
deliveries.
WARNING!
by carriers that are not authorized by Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Only Hewlett Packard
Enterprise authorized carriers can transport the P9500 racks in Environmental pack. Contact
Hewlett Packard Enterprise to arrange for Full Factory packaging when the P9500 rack will
be transported after initial delivery by Hewlett Packard Enterprise.
Full Factory packaging - This packaging configuration consists of a pallet, wooden loading
ramp, inner packaging, and outer corrugated carton assembly. Full Factory packaging is
used for EMEA and for indirect ground shipments in USA and Canada.
WARNING!
after initial delivery from the factory. Contact Hewlett Packard Enterprise to arrange for Full
Factory packaging.
Full Factory packaging with wooden crate - This packaging configuration consists of full
packaging and encased in a wooden crate. Full Factory packaging with wooden crate is
used for air freight shipments from USA.
Other areas: The hallways, doorways, ramps, and elevators must be large enough to allow a
single unpacked rack to be moved to the installation location. Unless the distance between the
receiving dock and the data center is very long, P9500 disk arrays are typically unpacked in the
receiving area and the individual racks with pre-installed equipment are rolled on their casters
to the data center. The following table provides the dimensions of the P9500 disk array.
