3.1 Preinstallation Checks
Before beginning the DECserver 700 installation, use the following checklist to
make sure that the site preparation is complete:
•
Arrangements have been made to connect the DECserver 700 Ethernet port to
an Ethernet interface device (if required). For standard Ethernet, the device
can be a DELNI

Wire Ethernet, the device can be a DEMPR
TM
,
DESPR, or ThinWire segment.
For 10BaseT Ethernet, the device can be a DETPR.
•
The Ethernet interface device is installed and the required cabling is in place,
tested, and tagged.
•
The rack-mount kit is installed (if required) as described in the DECserver
700 Hardware Installation Card.
•
Cables of appropriate length are available for connecting the DECserver 700
to the Ethernet interface device.
•
The devices (terminals, modems, personal computers, hosts) are ready to be
connected.
•
Cables of appropriate length and type are available for connection of serial
devices.
