Some specialized racks are limited on shipment options: • The 10647 rack is available as a standard pallet and crate. • The 10842 is available as a standard pallet and shock pallet. • The S10614 is available only on the shock pallet. Qualification of rack components for shipping A component is a term used in this document to mean a physical device intended to be mounted in the rack. Examples of components include, but are not limited to: • Slide- or rail-mounted devices such as server or storage units • Shelved devices such as keyboards and displays • Side-mounted zero-U PDUs • Fan kits that mount to the rack roof Components must be qualified prior to consideration for shipment within racks; this means the component has been successfully tested under common carrier simulations. HP recommends the use of padded van carriers to avoid some potential damage handling scenarios. The qualification process is an on-going effort to evaluate components as they are introduced. Prior to a successful qualification, a component should be shipped in its individual shipping container; shipment of an unqualified system in a rack or any system without the proper shock pallet will void the warranty. Rack shipping enclosures Standard shipping pallet 10000 and 10000 G2 Series Racks ship on a standard wooden pallet with plastic shrink-wrap around the rack. Component installation must occur on the customer site. This pallet and rack configuration is designed for shipping an empty rack. It does not support any component-shipping configuration. NOTE Wooden components of the pallets have been properly treated to comply with the pest-free certifications required by foreign countries. CTO shock pallet 10000 and 10000 G2 Series Racks ship on a CTO shock pallet. The shock pallet is designed to allow the rack to be shipped while fully loaded and configured with components. The shock pallet ensures that the rack is capable of handling the weight of the installed components during shipment without damaging the rack or the equipment within. With each rack on a shock pallet, a pallet ramp is included to support the dismount of the rack from the pallet. 24

Qualification of rack components for shipping
A component is a term used in this document to mean a physical device intended to be mounted in
the rack. Examples of components include, but are not limited to:
•
Slide- or rail-mounted devices such as server or storage units
•
Shelved devices such as keyboards and displays
•
Side-mounted zero-U PDUs
•
Fan kits that mount to the rack roof
Components must be qualified prior to consideration for shipment within racks; this means the
component has been successfully tested under common carrier simulations. HP recommends the use of
padded van carriers to avoid some potential damage handling scenarios. The qualification process is
an on-going effort to evaluate components as they are introduced.
Prior to a successful qualification, a component should be shipped in its individual shipping container;
shipment of an unqualified system in a rack or any system without the proper shock pallet will void the
warranty.
Rack shipping enclosures
Standard shipping pallet
10000 and 10000 G2 Series Racks ship on a standard wooden pallet with plastic shrink-wrap
around the rack. Component installation must occur on the customer site. This pallet and rack
configuration is designed for shipping an empty rack. It does not support any component-shipping
configuration.
NOTE
Wooden components of the pallets have been properly treated to comply
with the pest-free certifications required by foreign countries.
CTO shock pallet
10000 and 10000 G2 Series Racks ship on a CTO shock pallet. The shock pallet is designed to
allow the rack to be shipped while fully loaded and configured with components. The shock pallet
ensures that the rack is capable of handling the weight of the installed components during shipment
without damaging the rack or the equipment within.
With each rack on a shock pallet, a pallet ramp is included to support the dismount of the rack from
the pallet.
