Sample of an Installation Schedule

The following schedule lists the sequence of events for a typical system installation:

• 60 days before installation

— Floor plan design completed and mailed to HP (if required to be an HP task)

• 30 days before installation

— Primary power and air conditioning installation completed

— Telephone and data cables installed

— Fire protection equipment installed

— Major facility changes completed

— Special delivery requirements defined

— Site inspection survey completed

— Delivery survey completed

— A signed copy of the site inspection and delivery survey mailed to HP

— Site inspection and predelivery coordination meeting arranged with a HP representative to review

the inspection checklist and arrange an installation schedule

• 7 days before installation

— Final check made with a HP site preparation specialist to resolve any last minute problems

NOTE Not all installations follow a schedule like the one noted above. Sometimes, a server is

purchased through another vendor, which can preclude a rigid schedule. Other conditions could

also prevent following this schedule. For those situations, consider a milestone schedule.

• Site Preparation—schedule with the customer as soon as possible after the order is placed

• Site Verification—schedule with the customer a minimum of one to two days before the HP

server is scheduled to be installed
