Site Planning Overview

You need to be aware of the following requirements whether you are providing computer-

room space or other properly prepared space for your server:

Locate the server away from high-traffic areas and potential impacts. High-traffic

areas include patch panels, experimental equipment, or equipment that needs

frequent physical reconfiguration.

Choose a location where the server will be free from significant temperature or

humidity changes, or possible damage from moisture.

Locate the server in a clean environment, free from smoke and dust.

Verify that the location you select has a sturdy, level floor, and is not subject to

vibration. The rack holding the server must be stable during normal operation

and service.

Make sure the server has adequate space in front of and behind the rack for times

when service or reconfiguration is necessary. If the rack has a door, it must be

able to open completely to allow access to the front and rear panels of the server.

Make sure there is adequate power and the correct receptacle type for each server

component, the rack power strips, and the UPSs. Do not use extension cords to

plug in any of the server components.

You are responsible for scheduling, planning, and preparing a suitable environment for the

installation and operation of the Express5800/1000 Series server.

The server models described in this guide are primarily designed to be installed and

operated in a computer room (controlled) environment. If large scale servers are new to

your site, you will need to pay particular attention to the following items:

Local building codes

Local electrical codes

Local safety codes

Space and weight limitations and server accessibility

Environmental requirements (temperature, humidity, etc.)

Electrical and grounding requirements.
