Preface x Express5800/320Fc: Site Planning Guide
Chapter 1 Welcome to Site Planning for Express5800/320Fc - For an overview of the information you need to know and of the tasks you need to perform to prepare a site for an Express5800/320Fc system, see: • “Site Planning Overview” on page 1-1 • “Site Planning for Fault-Tolerant Systems” on page 1-2 • “Site Planning Checklist” on page 1-3 • “System Documentation” on page 1-5 Site Planning Overview Site planning for fault-tolerant systems includes: • Space planning Provide adequate space for the system or
Site Planning for Fault-Tolerant Systems Use the “Site Planning Checklist” on page 1-3 to track your site preparation progress. For a list of other documents related to your Express5800/320Fc system, see “System Documentation” on page 1-5. During the site planning and preparation processes, work closely with your facilities group or contractor to determine space, power, and environmental requirements.
Site Planning Checklist Site Planning Checklist Referring to the information in this document, answer the following questions: Planning for Optional Components The system contains four 10/100/1000 megabits-per-second (Mbps) Ethernet ports. Will your system additionally include any of the following PCI adapters for network communications? If so, indicate how many of each and plan network connections for all Ethernet ports you will use.
Site Planning Checklist Table 1-1. Ethernet PCI Adapters Adapter Number of Ports Dual-Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet Adapters 2 1000 Base T 2 1000 Base T-SX 2 Will you supply your own monitor or will NEC Corporation of America supply the monitor? NOTE Use the USB keyboard and mouse provided by NEC Corporation of America.
System Documentation What are the lengths and types of the cables that will connect to your system? Have you created a sketch of how you plan to arrange the system at the installation site? Consider the available cable lengths, the placement of external devices, and the location of network and voice communication connections.
System Documentation System Documentation When you receive your system, you receive a printed copy of the Express5800/320Fc: Installation Guide. The software installation program lets you install an online copy of this document, along with other Express5800/320Fc system documentation, on your system. You also have the option to install documentation on a remote system. The Express5800/320Fc Help and Manuals folder on the Windows desktop, contains these documents.

Chapter 2 Cabinet and Monitor Requirements 2- For requirements related to supplying your own cabinet and monitor, see: • “Cabinet Requirements” on page 2-1 • “Monitor Requirements” on page 2-4 Cabinet Requirements If you are providing your own cabinet for an Express5800/320Fc, make sure the cabinet contains a rack that is 19-in. wide and that meets the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) 310-D standard.
Cabinet Requirements • To prevent stray voltages, all components are grounded together through the vertical mounting rails to the cabinet frame, and then to local building ground. To ensure signal quality, use a grounding cable provided by NEC Corporation of America for local building ground. • There is a plan for maintaining cables and wires to the cabinet by either running them under the floor or placing them overhead in an overhead cable tray. • Air flows through the cabinet from front to back.
Cabinet Requirements Figure 2-1. Rail Clearance 0.5-inch (1.27-cm) minimum 1 0.
Monitor Requirements Monitor Requirements If you are using a monitor that is not supplied by NEC Corporation of America, make sure that: • The monitor accepts universal 100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz power. • The VGA cable has a 15-pin D-sub connector. • The power cord for the monitor is long enough to reach the power source. • The plug type on the power cord is compatible with the external power source at the site. Use the keyboard and mouse provided by NEC Corporation of America.
Chapter 3 Space Planning 3- For information about planning sufficient space for your Express5800/320Fc system, see: • “Room Requirements” on page 3-1 • “Planning for Cables” on page 3-2 Room Requirements To ensure that the installation site provides a properly equipped, cooled, and sized environment, make sure that the site: • Provides clearances for air circulation and servicing the system Locate the front and rear of the system at least 2.5 ft (0.76m) away from walls and other obstructions.
Planning for Cables Planning for Cables To accommodate cables from your Express5800/320Fc system, make sure to provide: • One telephone line for use when calling for service • Ethernet jacks, switches, or hubs, as needed • Two electrically separate grounded AC wall outlets, or a UPS and a wall outlet, within reach of the power cords from the system or PDUs and additional outlets for any components that do not connect to a PDU Make sure that cables you plan to connect to the system are long enough to rea

Appendix B Electrical Circuit and Wiring Information B- For electrical circuit and wiring information that you need to provide to the contractor and/or facilities personnel responsible for wiring the power at the system installation site, see: • “Fault Protection Requirements” on page B-1 • “Grounding Considerations” on page B-1 • “Circuit Wiring Diagrams” on page B-3 • “Electrical Power Connectors” on page B-9 Fault Protection Requirements Each enclosure in Express5800/320Fc systems contains internal fa
Grounding Considerations reference ground is typically a metal stake in the ground to which the ground conductors from one or more buildings are attached. As shown in Figure B-1, a star ground is often used to obtain the same earth reference ground. Each earth reference ground, such as the system base ground, is returned separately to a common point where a zero-volt (0V) earth ground exists.
Circuit Wiring Diagrams Circuit Wiring Diagrams The following circuit wiring diagrams show how the hot, ground, and/or neutral AC signals should be connected to the system’s power input plug: • Figure B-3 illustrates a single-phase 120-volts AC circuit connection. • Figure B-4 illustrates a single-phase 240-volts AC circuit connection. • Figure B-5 illustrates a split-phase 120/240-volts AC circuit connection.
Circuit Wiring Diagrams Figure B-3 shows a single-phase 120-volts AC circuit connection. Note that this application requires a single-pole circuit breaker. Figure B-3.
Circuit Wiring Diagrams Figure B-4 shows a single-phase 240-volts AC circuit connection. Note that this application requires a single-pole circuit breaker. Figure B-4.
Circuit Wiring Diagrams Figure B-5 shows a split-phase 120/240-volts AC circuit connection. Note that this application requires a double-pole circuit breaker. Figure B-5.
Circuit Wiring Diagrams Figure B-6 shows a three-phase 208-volts AC, Y-, or ∆-source circuit connection, which is a phase-to-neutral source connection. Note that the X input on the system can be connected from L1, L2, or L3. This application requires a single-pole circuit breaker. Figure B-6.
Circuit Wiring Diagrams Figure B-7 shows a three-phase 208-volts AC, Y-, or ∆-source circuit connection, which is a phase-to-phase source connection. Note that the X and Y inputs on the system can be connected from L1 and L2, L2 and L3, or L1 and L3. This application requires a double-pole circuit breaker. Figure B-7.
Electrical Power Connectors Figure B-8 shows a three-phase 380V AC, Y-, or ∆-source circuit connection, which is a phase-to-neutral source connection. Note that the system’s X input can be connected to L1, L2, or L3. This application requires a single-pole circuit breaker. Figure B-8.
