Planning Checklist
The planning checklist (Appendix C, "Planning
Checklist") provides a suggested schedule. Your site
preparation may not require all of the suggested steps, or
you may require some additional steps. Be sure you allow
enough time to complete the necessary steps before your
system arrives.

The prepared layout must be accurate and drawn to scale.
If necessary, IBM uses the layout to determine the
appropriate cable lengths [EMEA (IBM Europe/Middle
East/Africa) has fixed length cables.] Be sure to include
the following items, and any other unique considerations,
on the layout:
•
Service clearances required for each unit.
•
Location of:
Power receptacles
Air conditioning equipment and controls
File cabinets, desks, and other office equipment
Room emergency power-off controls
All entran"ces, exits, windows, and columns or
pillars.
•
The number of:
Control units assigned to each channel
The number of input/output units attached to each
control unit.
Special tasks that you must do for a raised-floor
