Site Readiness. Task 1 involves verifying that your site is ready for the installation of the
Sitespan. This preparation is covered by an ACC Site Survey or survey form completed by
the customer. The survey includes a site plan of the facility with floor plan, all power
outlets, power boxes, and cabling locations marked.
• Inspect the site, particularly the equipment room, before unloading or unpacking
the equipment to ensure:
• Adequate earthing is provided.
• Access to the equipment will be adequate for installation normal handling and
movement.
• The heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems are operating correctly.
• Sufficient lighting is available for proper installation and operation installation
and operation.
Flooring. In raised floor installations, cut-outs may be made in the floor for cable access
to the Sitespan server PC and the AS4000 Racks. Use the site survey floor plan to verify
the location and size of the cut-out.
Cable Trays. Cable trays are normally provided by the customer. Use the site survey to
verify that they are in place, provide routing to the proper destinations, and that they have
adequate strength to support the cables.
Power Availability. Mains power supplies for the Server PC and any associated
communications equipment should be highly available. If the power is subject to disruption
then an Uninteruptable Power Supply (UPS) should be considered.
STOP. THIS PROCEDURE HAS BEEN COMPLETED.
