  • Inspect the route that you plan to take, to eliminate potential hazards.
  • Make sure that the route that you choose can support the weight of the loaded rack cabinet. See the documentation that comes with your rack cabinet for the weight of a loaded rack cabinet.
  • Make sure that all door openings are at least 760 x 2030 mm (30 x 80 in.)
  • Make sure that all devices, shelves, drawers, doors, and cables are secure.
  • Make sure that the four leveling pads are raised to their highest positions.
  • Make sure that no stabilizer bracket is installed on the rack cabinet.
  • Do not use a ramp that is inclined more than 10 degrees.
