Remove heavy components from cabinet
Remove some of the heavier components that are located in the top of the cabinet to ensure
maximum stability.
Before you begin
• Make sure the maximum weight does not exceed 2000 lbs before you move the cabinet.
• Note the location of each tray, component, and cable before removing it, so that you can reinstall
each item in its original location.
Steps
1. Record the cable configuration for future reassembly if any cables must be disconnected.
2. Remove the drive trays and controller-drive trays in the top half of the cabinet. Keep all of the
components from the same tray together.
Note: You do not need to remove the power supplies or other components from the rear of each
tray.
3. Place each component in a separate antistatic bag. If the original shipping boxes are available, use
them to transport the components.

Move cabinet to its permanent location
on page 12.
Move cabinet to its permanent location
The 3040 40U cabinet has heavy-duty casters that enable you to move the cabinet to its permanent
location.
Before you begin
• Review the instructions for rolling the cabinet off the pallet without the use of a forklift.
Shipping crates provide built-in ramps and instructions. Refer to the unpacking instructions
included on the front of the shipping crate.
• Evaluate all of the ramps between the loading dock and the cabinet's final destination.
You must evaluate all ramps to make sure that the cabinet’s center of gravity (when the cabinet is
on a ramp and sitting at an angle) does not extend beyond the cabinet’s footprint.
