Moving and Stabilizing a Rack
WARNING: The physical size and weight of the rack requires a minimum of
two people to move. If one person tries to move the rack, injury may occur.
To ensure stability of the rack, always push on the lower half of the rack. Be
especially careful when moving the rack over any bump (for example: door
sills, ramp edges, carpet edges, or elevator openings). When the rack is
moved over a bump, there is a potential for it to tip over.
Moving the rack requires a clear, uncarpeted pathway that is at least
80 mm (30 in) wide for the 60.3 cm (23.7 in) wide, 42U rack. A vertical clearance
of 203.2 cm (80 in) should ensure sufficient clearance for the 200 cm (78.7 in)
high, 42U rack.
Caution: Ensure that no vertical or horizontal restrictions exist that would
prevent rack movement without damaging the rack.
Make sure that all four leveler feet are in the fully raised position. This process
will ensure that the casters support the rack weight and the feet do not impede
movement.
The floor space requirements for a rack with a single-piece rear door are shown in
Figure 61 . The floor space requirements for a rack with a split rear door are shown
in Figure 62 . The split rear door is available on Enterprise Racks.
Each storage system rack has four feet and four casters. Raising the adjustable feet
places the rack weight on the casters, so you can easily move the rack. Lowering
the feet places the rack weight on the feet and prevents the rack from moving. The
removable front and rear doors, and the removable side panels provide easy access
to the rack interior.
