Unpacking a vertically-packaged cabinet
Unpack a cabinet in a dust-free area near the installation site.
Prerequisites
• Unpacking a vertically packaged cabinet involves removing the
packaging and removing the cabinet from the pallet. If space is limited at
the unpacking area, remove the cabinet from the pallet first and transport
it on a dolly. For the dimensions and weights of hardware, see

Description.
Procedure steps
1 Ensure that the cabinet is properly secured to the pallet.
2 Move the cabinet on the pallet to the dust-free unpacking area using a
self-standing wheeled apparatus (for example, a hand truck or fridge
cart). Use two or three helpers to move the equipment over cables or
doorway thresholds.
3 Verify that the cabinet will be placed off the pallet onto on a flat surface so
that it does not tip over after you stand it upright.
CAUTION
Avoid structural stress when maneuvering uncrated
cabinets and shelf assemblies
When handling and moving uncrated cabinets and shelf
assemblies, avoid strain, excessive shock, or vibrations,
which can damage or warp the equipment.
WARNING
Risk of personal injury
The sharp ends of the staples that hold the packaging
together and anchor the cabinet to the pallet can be
exposed as you unpack the cabinet.
