Facility planning for implementation 21
Delivery space requirements
Be sure your facility has adequate space to receive and remove the MCS-200/100 from the shipping pallet.
Consider the following when unloading the racks:
• Forklifts must enter and transport the shipping pallet from the side.
• Delivery plans must include the possible removal of walls or doors.

Maneuvering space requirements
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, do not attempt to
move equipment racks alone. Obtain adequate assistance to stabilize the rack during movement,
or hire professional equipment riggers.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, use extreme care
when moving racks with casters. Sudden stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces can cause
the product to overturn.
When maneuvering the MCS-200/100, use the following guidelines:
• Move racks that have casters with care. Sudden stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces might
cause the product to overturn.
• Due to stability and safety concerns, the cooling unit and IT rack have casters that are fixed to the front
and swivel in the back. For more ease, move the MCS-200/100 with the back as the leading edge.
• For long and straight distances, roll the MCS-200/100 with the front fixed casters leading. For better
mobility, lead with the rear swiveling casters.
• When rolling the MCS-200/100, push firmly on the front doors frame and not the door mesh of the IT
rack. The points where you should push theMCS-200/100 are marked by the factory.
• Be sure that the rooms and doors are large enough to accommodate the movement of the
MCS-200/100 cabinet into the data center.
• When transporting the MCS-200/100 to a different building floor, ensure the elevators have adequate
load capacity, floor space, and door clearance to accommodate the rack. The MCS-200/100 pallet
can only be moved with forklifts from the side, which has a length of 1829mm (72 inches).
• When transporting the MCS-200/100 within a building, ensure that doorway thresholds are adequate
to hold the rack. HP does not recommend that you lift or transport the MCS-200/100 by eyebolts that
are attached to the upper corners of the cabinet.
The following figure shows the maneuvering space required when unloading the MCS-100 and MCS-200
from a pallet. When planning to maneuver the unit, use the delivery forms provided in "Appendix A: Forms
and checklists (on page 81)."
