Welcome to Site Planning for

Express5800/320

For an overview of the information you need to know and of the tasks you need to
perform to prepare a site for an Express5800/320

system, see:

•

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.
