Release Enclosure From Shipping Skid

The shipping skid platform helps to stabilize product enclosures during transport and handling. It is recommended that you keep an enclosure fastened to the shipping skid as long as possible to help protect the enclosure from damage and to minimize the tip hazard.
Before you release the product enclosure, particularly if your product consists of multiple enclosures, familiarize yourself with the final arrangement for the installation. See the dimensional drawing for your product.
When you have determined that it is time to release an enclosure, follow these steps.
ATTENTION:
Risk of equipment damage exists.
Install the drive on a level surface (± 1 mm per meter [± 0.036 in. per 36 in.] of drive length in all directions). If necessary, use metal shims to level the enclosures before joining them; any attempt to level after joining can twist or misalign the enclosures.
  1. Release the enclosure from the shipping skid. For multiple enclosures, start with input bay.
    Remove lag screws to release the enclosure from the shipping skid.
  2. Place the enclosure on supports, such as wooden beams, to provide enough space to remove the bolts that secure the cleats to the enclosure.
    Remove the shipping cleats from the enclosure.
  3. Position and place the enclosure.
