Note: You can order a weight-reduced shipment of a DS8000 model when a
configured model exceeds the weight capability of the receiving area at
your site.
3. To compensate for the weight of the DS8000 shipment, ensure that the loading
ramp at your site does not exceed an angle of 10°. (See Figure 17.)
Shipment weights and dimensions
To help you plan for the delivery of your storage unit, you must ensure that your
loading dock and receiving area can support the weight and dimensions of the
packaged DS8000 shipments.
You receive at least two, and up to three, shipping containers for each DS8000
model that you order. You always receive the following items:
v A container with the DS8000 model. In the People's Republic of China (including
Hong Kong S.A.R. of China), India, and Brazil, this container is a wooden crate.
In all other countries, this container is a pallet covered by a corrugated
fiberboard (cardboard) cover.
v A container with the remaining ship group items, such as power cords, CDs,
and other ordered features or peripherals for your model.
If ordered, you also receive the following container:
v A container with the external management consoles (MCs).
Table 50 on page 141 shows the final packaged dimensions and maximum
packaged weight of the storage unit shipments.
To calculate the weight of your total shipment, add the weight of each model
container and the weight of one ship group container for each model. If you
ordered any external management consoles, add the weight of those containers, as
well.
