Site Preparation
Planning Your Site on page 36
Operating Environment Requirements on page 37
Rack Specifications and Recommendations on page 40
Evaluating and Meeting Cable Requirements on page 41
Meeting Power Requirements on page 47
Following Applicable Industry Standards on page 50
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.
Only qualified service personnel should install, maintain, or remove a switch, chassis, or its components.
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.
Note
Before installing or removing any components of the system, and before carrying out any
maintenance procedures, read the safety information in "Technical Specifications."
Planning Your Site
To install your equipment successfully, you should plan the site carefully. The site planning process has
three major parts:
1. 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
2. Evaluating and meeting cable requirements.
