Introduction
Read Me First: Unpacking Express5800/320Fc Cabinets
describes how to move cabinets that contain these systems to an
installation site and how to unpack them.
Warnings, cautions, and notes in this document convey the
following special information:
WARNING
!
A warning indicates a situation where failure
to take or avoid a specified action could cause
bodily harm or loss of life.
CAUTION
!
A caution indicates a situation where failure to
take or avoid a specified action could damage a
hardware device, program, system, or data.
NOTE
A note provides important information concerning
the operation of your system.
Packaged Cabinet
Figure 1 shows a shipping container for a 38U cabinet that
contains one or more systems and optional components. (“U,” for
unit, equals 1.75 inches (in.), or 4.45 centimeters (cm).)

Figure 1. Cabinet Packaged for Shipping
The cardboard shipping container is secured to a shipping pallet
by exterior shipping straps. (Inside the shipping container, interior
shipping straps secure the cabinet to the pallet.) A ramp for rolling
the cabinet off the pallet is attached to one side of the shipping
container, at the rear of the cabinet. Labels on the cardboard cap
indicate the front and rear of the cabinet.

Before Unpacking the Cabinet
1. Check the packing list to verify that you have received the
correct shipment.
2. Verify that the Tip-N-Tell and Shockwatch handling indicators
on the outside of the shipping container have not been
activated.
CAUTION
!
If you received the wrong shipment or a handling
indicator has been activated, do not proceed
with the unpacking. Contact the vendor from
which you purchased your system and the
shipping carrier immediately.
3. Verify that the area through which you must move the cabinet
has adequate clearance, as the following figures indicate:
•Figure 2 shows the dimensions of a packaged 38U
cabinet.
•Figure 3 shows the dimensions of a packaged 24U
cabinet.
•Figure 4 shows the clearances required at the installation
site.
Include the height of the pallet jack when you calculate the
overall cabinet height.

If the corridor and door dimensions are large enough to
accommodate the unpacked cabinet still tied to its pallet, use a
pallet jack to move it from the delivery site to the installation site,
as described in “Moving the Cabinet to the Installation Site” on
page 6.
If the corridor and door dimensions are too small to accommodate
the unpacked cabinet still tied to its pallet, unpack the cabinet and
unload it from the pallet before you move it to the installation site.
In this case, use the pallet jack to move the unpacked cabinet as
close to the installation site as possible. Then, unpack the cabinet,
remove it from its pallet, and roll it carefully on its casters to the
installation site.
Moving the Cabinet to the Installation Site
WARNING
!
To avoid personal injury or damage to the
systems or cabinet, two persons are required
to move, unpack, and install a cabinet that
contains Express5800/320Fc systems.
Because of the size and weight of the systems
in cabinets, consider using professional
movers to deliver and move the packaged
units to the installation site.
CAUTION
!
To prevent or minimize condensation on the
systems’ internal and external surfaces, avoid
exposing the systems to extreme temperature or
humidity changes when moving them to the
installation site. If the systems have been
exposed to extreme temperature or humidity
conditions during transit, or if condensation is

-7-
present, see the section “Stabilizing the Systems”
on page 19 for stabilization guidelines.
When shipped, the system cabinet is tied to the pallet beneath it.
The pallet has a clearance for a pallet jack to move the unit. When
moving a system cabinet, follow these guidelines:
1. Verify that the unpacked cabinet is still secured to the pallet.
2. Use a pallet jack to move the cabinet on its pallet to the
installation site.
CAUTION
!
Use a pallet jack to move the packaged cabinet,
not a forklift. Using a forklift could damage the
cabinet or a system. Use the pallet jack at the
front or rear of the cabinet.
3. Position the cabinet pallet so that it has the clearances shown
in Figure 4.
Unpacking and Checking the Cabinet
Unless you have a service agreement that includes installation of
the system, you need to unpack the cabinet.
To unpack the cabinet
•Make sure you have the correct tools.
•Remove the packing materials.
•Check the cabinet and system.
•Verify the system serial numbers.
•Remove the cabinet from its pallet.

-8-
Tools Needed to Unpack the Cabinet
Use the following tools to unpack the cabinet:
•Metal shears to cut pallet straps
•Pair of scissors or utility knife
•One 3/8-inch drive ratchet with a 9/16-inch socket
Removing the Packing Materials
WARNING
!
To avoid personal injury or damage to the
systems or cabinet, two persons are required
to perform the following procedures.
1. Orient the cabinet package so that the package and the ramp
have, as a minimum, the clearance shown in Figure 4. Also,
verify that you have enough clearance above the cabinet to
remove the top cardboard cap.
2. With one person holding the ramp in place, use the metal
shears to cut the exterior shipping straps. To avoid injury while
cutting each strap, hold the strap firmly with one hand as you
stand away from it. See Figure 5.
WARNING
!
The shipping straps can snap with
considerable force when they are cut. To avoid
eye or skin injuries, use caution when cutting
the shipping straps.

3. Remove the ramp. The ramp is in two pieces that are held
together by a bolt. Unbolt the two pieces. Behind the ramp is
an accessory box, which contains various components and
documentation. Remove the box and set it aside for later use.
4. Construct the ramp by inserting the bevel in the smaller ramp
piece into the larger ramp piece. Set the ramp aside to use
when you remove the cabinet from the pallet.
5. Remove the cardboard pieces of packing material
surrounding the cabinet (see Figure 6). These pieces include
two C-fold sleeves around the sides of the cabinet and a cap
at the top.

6. Remove the plastic wrap encasing the cabinet.
CAUTION
!
If condensation exists inside the plastic wrap, you
must provide a stabilization period for the
systems. “Stabilizing the Systems” on page 19
hsys036

-11-
provides complete information about the
stabilization process.
7. Use the strap buckles to loosen the interior shipping straps
that secure the cabinet to the pallet. See Figure 7.
Figure 7. Removing the Interior Shipping Straps
8. Remove the two fiber protective sleeves at the top-front and
top-rear of the cabinet.
9. Loosen, but do not remove, the bolts that secure the
wooden-restraint blocks to the pallet at the bottom sides of the
cabinet. See Figure 8. (You do not need to loosen the bolts of
the wooden-restraint blocks at the bottom rear of the cabinet.)
To loosen the bolts, use the 9/16-inch socket wrench. You may
need to hold the nut underneath the pallet that secures the
bolt.

Figure 8. Wooden-Restraint Blocks
10. Loosen and remove the bolts that secure the wooden-restraint
block at the front door of the cabinet. Then, remove the block.
11. Locate the lever bar. Insert it in the center slot of one of the
sides. See Figure 9.
hsys038

-13-
Figure 9. Inserting the Lever Bar
12. With the assistance of another person, tilt the cabinet from
one side. As one person stands to brace the cabinet near the
top, a second person kneels on the floor and uses both arms
to push down on the lever bar, forcing the cabinet to tilt. See
Figure 10.
hsys039

-14-
Figure 10. Tilting the Cabinet
13. After the cabinet is tilted, the person who has been standing
must kneel on the floor to slide the wooden restraint blocks
away from the cabinet. See Figure 11.

Figure 11. Sliding Back the Wooden Restraint Blocks
14. Move the lever bar to the opposite side of the cabinet. Repeat
the process of tilting the cabinet and sliding back the two
wooden restraint blocks on the opposite side of the cabinet.
Removing the Cabinet from the Pallet
1. Position the pallet ramp under the pallet, at the rear of the
cabinet (see Figure 12). Verify that it is secure.

Figure 12. Position the Pallet Ramp
2. With the help of another person, slowly and carefully roll the
cabinet down the ramp, with one person on each side of the
cabinet, not in the front or back. See Figure 13. Each person
must hold the upper portion of the cabinet with both hands.
WARNING
!
The cabinet is top heavy. Use extreme caution
when rolling it down the ramp.
