  • Page 21: Power Considerations

    Power considerations Power is best managed within the rack by the use of a power distribution unit (PDU). Depending on the configuration, it may be necessary or desirable to use multiple PDUs to connect all devices inside the rack. Each PDU should be connected to a dedicated (unshared) branch circuit that is suitably rated for the continuous load of all the equipment connected to it.

  • Page 33: Airfreight

    Guidelines for selecting a specialized, air-ride, padded-van carriers include the following considerations: • A dedicated truck shipment can be set up with no transfer points where the equipment is unloaded/reloaded enroute to its destination. • These carriers are accustomed to special handling arrangements and will provide any necessary materials.
  • Page 34 Figure 19. Sample shipping declaration The "place and date" of shipment must be entered by the shipper (the "person" who offers the freight to the carrier). The shipper must offer a minimum of two signed copies (our internal standard is four) of the completed Shipper's Declarations for Dangerous Goods to the carrier, usually along with the Air Waybill.
  • Page 35: Mode Of Receiving And Delivery

    Mode of receiving and delivery Knowledge of the receiving site is an important planning consideration, as special equipment or arrangements may have to be made.
