Site Preparation
The following tasks should be planned so that they can be accomplished in
a timely manner:
• Site preparation for the 3274 subsystem
• Communication facilities preparation for remote attachment of the 3274
Control Unit
• Host system channel preparation for local attachment of the 327 4
Control Unit
• Programming support preparation
• 327 4 predelivery planning activities.
It may be useful to assign a person in your organization the responsibility
of ensuring that all these tasks are planned. The Planning Checklist in
Appendix A of this guide contains the events, in a suggested sequence, that
should be planned in order to install a locally attached model, and/or to set
up a remotely attached model, of the ;3274 for the first time; it. therefore
contains more detail than is required for adding to or replacing an existing
subsystem. In
e~ther
case, each event should be carefully considered so that
installation and/or set:up is problem-free.
The specifications for the physical requirements of all the attached
terminals are given in IBM 3270 Information Display System: Installatio1J,
Manual-Physical Planning, GA27-2787.
This guide will help you provide compatibility between these units and the
following:
• Wark-space considerations
• Electrical requirements
• Cable requirements and installation
• Power cord plug requirements
• Environmental requirements.
