The handling and installation of an Exadata Database Machine rack require caution and adherence to
recommended guidelines:
Shipping Brackets: Shipping brackets are specifically designed for transportation purposes and should
not be reused for permanent installation. Permanent floor mounting should use approved rack-
mounting equipment to ensure stability and safety .
Steering and Pushing the Rack: Exadata racks should be steered from the rear due to fixed front
casters. It is critical to avoid pushing the rack from the side panels, which could cause it to tip over,
presenting a serious safety risk. This careful movement ensures safe positioning and prevents
damage to the equipment during installation.
