Install the System on page 9-6
Test the Customized Operating System on page 9-7
Perform Final Tasks on page 9-7
Plan the System
1. Decide what size system to order.
2. Decide what system components (such as internal disk drives and ServerNet
adapters) and other system equipment (such as terminals, printers, modems, tape
drives, and SWAN concentrators) are needed for the new system and order them.
3. Make sure the system planner has access to information about the hardware
ordered and about which communications protocols are preferred.
4. Plan for the environmental requirements of the system. This involves:
•
Select the rooms that will contain system equipment
•
Arrange for the installation of a raised floor if desired
•
Install any necessary air conditioning and other environmental controls
Section 12, Site Planning and Preparation, discusses the environmental
requirements of the system.
5. Plan for the power requirements of the system equipment. Make arrangements for
power installation early in the planning process, because it can take a long time to
get new electrical circuits installed.
Section 12, Site Planning and Preparation, discusses the power requirements of
the system.
6. Arrange for telecommunications lines. Make these arrangements for
telecommunications lines early in the planning process, because it can take a long
time to get telecommunications lines installed.
7. Prepare the delivery route from the building entrance to the installation site.
