Physical installation planning
Before you set up your system environment, you must verify that the prerequisite conditions for the
system are met.
This information applies to the supported hardware components. Answer the following questions before
you start the installation process.
• Does your physical site meet the environment requirements for your system?
• Do you have adequate rack space for your hardware?
The system requires two Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) units for each ESS 3000.
• Do the power circuits you are planning to use have sufficient capacity and the correct sockets for your
installation?
