Requirements
Requirements
If you plan to allow access to your system by a remote service provider, you must have
at least one telephone line available in the room where the system is installed. It must
be a direct line that does not go through a switchboard. If you want to allow a dial-out
support connection to a remote service provider, such as the Global Customer Support
Center (GCSC), or to your support organization, you must connect the modem that is
connected to the system console to this line.
A second telephone line for voice communication with the local operator is highly
recommended. This line should be installed in the same room as the system,
preferably near the system console.
To ensure that at least one data communications line is up at all times, ask your
supplier to select different routes for each line.
Labeling Communications Cables
When the communications lines are installed, to tag each cable with a physical label,
preferably at both ends. The label must include at least one of the following:
•
The logical device name or physical interface name assigned to the line
•
A description of the equipment and connector that will connect to the cable
•
The slot location of the ServerNet adapter that will connect to the cable
More detailed labels might be more helpful:
•
You can color-code the labels for the X fabric and the Y fabric.
•
You can tag a cable at each end with information about where both ends go.
For example, a cable running between an SEB and an IOMF CRU can be tagged
at each end with complete information about which devices, groups, slots, and
ports it connects. You can use any labeling convention appropriate for your site;
one labeling convention is shown here.
Caution. Removal of hardware that has not failed will register as a failure and will cause a
dial-out to the GCSC call center.
