PURPOSE OF THIS MANUAL
This manual is task-oriented. Information is presented
in separate chapters for: the space planner, the
electrical workers, and the heating and air-conditioning
workers. This information, and any specific information
for each task, should be given to the appropriate
workers.
This manual has been updated to include information
about the 3430 Model A and 3430 Model B magnetic
tape units.
ORGANIZATION OF THIS MANUAL
This manual includes the following information:
• Suggested scheduling of site preparation
• Space requirements
• Recommendations about fire protection and lightning
protection
• Cabling information
• Electrical requirements
• Humidity and temperature requirements
IBM recommends that the organization planning to
install the system assign someone to coordinate all site
preparation planning. This individual will ensure that the
necessary site modifications are completed before the
system arrives for installation. This manual contains
data and recommendations that will help meet these
requirements.
IBM assumes that any alterations or additions to the site
(such as the addition of some electrical wiring) will be
performed by qualified technicians and professionals
designated by the coordinator.

About This Manual
Installation and cabling information about IBM 5250
work stations that can be attached to this system is
available in the IBM 5250 Information Display System
Planning and Site Preparation Guide, GA21-9337,
available through the IBM branch office serving your
locality. Installation planning information for external
modems is supplied by the modem manufacturer. If an
IBM external modem is used, its installation manual is
also available from your IBM branch office. Information
about the UPS (un interruptible power supply) system
and its cabling is available in the IBM System/38
Uninterruptible Power Supply Planning Guide,
GA21-9421. IBM recommends the use of these
manuals during site planning and preparation.
Although this manual is concerned primarily with the
installation of a data processing system, planners must
also consider the space, electrical, and environmental
requirements of other machines and equipment in the
data processing area.
In addition to physical planning, consider the following:
• Obtaining the supplies needed for operating the
system
• Writing programs or converting programs from other
systems
• Training for programmers and operators
Your IBM sales representative can answer any questions
about the programs, manuals, and supplies needed.
Classes, as well as demonstrations, can be scheduled
for programmers and operators.
Note: This manual follows the convention that he
means he or she.
