UNPACKING AND MOVING THE LIBRARY
The following sections describe the requirements to safely unpack and
maneuver library and component crates from storage to their operating
location.
Structural Integrity of Flooring
Ensure that all floors that will be traversed can withstand the weights of
the crated components shown in Receiving and Storing the Library on
page 35.
Required Equipment
Ensure that any equipment used to move the library components
can
transport the weights shown in Receiving and Storing the Library on
page 35.
Level Surfaces A pallet jack or forklift is required to move the crates on a
level surface.
Stairways A stair crawler or other special equipment must be used to
traverse stairways. A ramp can sometimes be used to traverse one or two
stairs.
Keep all library and components crated while moving them to the data center. If
the data center is not able to accommodate the crates, contact Spectra Logic
Professional Services in advance of the installation date. See Contacting Spectra
Logic on page 8.
