Chapter 1. Introduction to Planning
This chapter of the Physical Planning Manual is intended to help you with planning
pre-installation activities. IBM Marketing and Installation Planning Representatives
are also available to help you with installation planning. Proper planning for your
new system will facilitate a smooth installation and fast system start-up.
The use of the terms, 'processor', 'system' and 'all models' in this publication refer
to the zSeries 800 system.
System Planning
As part of your system planning activity, you will make decisions about where to
locate your equipment, who will operate the system, and so on. A good plan
ensures that the equipment and materials are ready to use when the zSeries 800
system arrives.
You should select an individual to serve as the coordinator for your planning efforts.
One person is generally responsible for most or all of the system planning, but it is
also possible to divide the responsibilities among other people in your business.
The type of software (operating system and application programs) that you intend to
use must support the features and devices on the system. You should already be
familiar with your software requirements, but may want to contact your IBM
marketing representative for information on planning for the software.
