Site Preparation
Planning Your Site
To install your equipment successfully, you should plan your site carefully. The site planning process
has three major steps:
Step 1: Meeting Site Requirements
Your physical installation site must meet several requirements for a safe and successful installation:
•
Building and electrical code requirements
•
Environmental, safety, and thermal requirements for the equipment you plan to install
•
Distribution rack requirements
Step 2: Evaluating and Meeting Cable Requirements
After examining your physical site and ensuring all environment requirements are met, you should
evaluate and compare your existing cable plant with the requirements of the Extreme Networks
equipment to determine if you need to install new cables (or cabling).
Step 3: Meeting Power Requirements
To run your equipment safely, you must meet the specific power requirements for the Extreme
Networks equipment that you plan to install.
NOTE
Review and follow the safety information before you install your equipment.
Meeting Site Requirements
This section addresses the various requirements to consider when preparing your installation site,
including:
•
Operating Environment Requirements
•
Rack Specifications and Recommendations
Operating Environment Requirements
You need to verify that your site meets all environmental and safety requirements.
Virtually all areas of the United States are regulated by building codes and standards. During the early
planning stages of installing or modifying your LAN, it is important that you develop a thorough
understanding of the regulations that pertain to your location and industry.
Building and Electrical Codes
Building and electrical codes vary depending on your location. Comply with all code specifications
when planning your site and installing cable. The following sections are provided as a resource to
obtain additional information.
