Chapter 1. Choosing a Site for the IBM 8265
Part 0
Use the information in this section to choose a site for the IBM 8265 and to make any
necessary preparations. Review this section to ensure that your chosen location
meets the minimum standards required to operate the 8265 correctly.
Using the Cabling Chart
Blank cabling charts for the 8265s are found in page 105. These charts are used to
record which modules are installed in the 8265, what segment the module is part of,
and all of the cable connections made to the individual modules. The charts are used
for planning, installation, and administration of your network. It is therefore imperative
that they are accurate and up-to-date.
Network Documentation Update
Update the documentation for each network that is connected to the 8265 to show the
location of:
•
The 8265
•
All equipment to be connected to the 8265
•
The areas where the cables will be laid
•
Power receptacles for all of the equipment.
Size and Weight
The 8265 is designed to be rack mounted or can be placed on a table, stand, or shelf.
Note:
Unloaded (with blank cover plates, three fan units, one controller module, and
one power supply installed) the 8265 chassis can weigh over 18 kg (40 lb).
Therefore, it is recommended that two people be used to move the chassis.
