By carefully planning your site, you can maximize the performance of your existing network and ensure
that it is ready to migrate to future networking technologies.
The information in this chapter is intended for the system administrator, network equipment technician,
network manager, or facilities manager responsible for installing and managing the network hardware.
The chapter assumes a working knowledge of local area network (LAN) operations, and a familiarity
with communications protocols that are used on interconnected LANs.
Installation, maintenance, and removal of a switch, chassis, or its components must be done by qualified
service personnel only. Qualified service personnel have had appropriate technical training and
experience that is necessary to be aware of the hazards to which they are exposed when performing a
task and of measures to minimize the danger to themselves or other people.

Planning Your Site

To install your equipment successfully, you should plan your site carefully. The site planning process
has three major parts:
Meeting site requirements
The physical installation site must meet the following requirements for a safe and successful
installation:
Building and electrical code requirements
Environmental, safety, and thermal requirements for the equipment you plan to install
Equipment rack requirements
Evaluating and meeting cable requirements
After examining your physical site and verifying that all environment requirements are met, evaluate
and compare your existing cable plant with the requirements of the Extreme Networks equipment to
determine if you need to install new cables.
