Site Planning Overview
Site planning for fault-tolerant systems includes:
• Space planning
Provide adequate space for the system or cabinet and for a desk or table to
accommodate components outside a cabinet. Also provide enough space for
servicing the systems and components.
• Purchasing an appropriate cabinet and monitor
If you do not purchase a monitor from NEC Corporation of America, provide a
monitor that meets the system’s requirements.
If you do not purchase the cabinet that NEC Corporation of America references,
provide a cabinet that meets the system’s requirements.
• Electrical (AC) power planning
Provide electrical power sources that meet the system’s requirements, optionally
including the purchase of a qualified uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
• Network and telephone line planning
Provide sufficient network and analog telephone lines.
