Preparing To Install The System; Tasks; Planning A Site - DEC 600 Installation And Service Manual

This chapter describes the preparations you need to make before installing the
DECNIS 600.

1.1 Tasks

Follow the procedures in Sections 1.2 to 1.6 to:
1. Plan a site for the DECNIS 600.
2. Prepare a rack (or cabinet) for the DECNIS 600.
3. Check that the site fulfills electrical requirements for the DECNIS 600.
4. Check the contents of the kit.
5. Check that you have the necessary tools available.
6. Check that two or more people are available to lift the DECNIS 600 from
its packaging and into the rack.

1.2 Planning a Site

Before you start the installation, plan and prepare the site for the DECNIS
600 so that:
• The site fulfills all electrical and environmental requirements for the
DECNIS 600. Appendix B describes these requirements.
• A rack is available and all rack requirements are fulfilled. Section 1.3
describes these requirements.
• The correct length of cabling is available for connecting the DECNIS 600 to
other equipment, for example, a modem.
• The site can accommodate plans to expand the system. For example, if
you require a Network Interface Card that uses a distribution panel, you
should allow room for the distribution panel in the rack or in a rack nearby.
