Installation Checklist
Installation Checklist
The sample installation checklist lists items and procedures for installing a new router. Make a copy of
this checklist and mark the entries when completed. Include a copy of the checklist for each router in
your site log (described in
“Creating a Site Log” section on page 2-10
).
Creating a Site Log
The Site Log provides a record of all actions related to the router. Keep it in an accessible place near the
chassis where anyone who performs tasks has access to it. Use the installation checklist to verify steps
in the installation and maintenance of the router. Site Log entries might include the following
information:
•
Installation progress—Make a copy of the installation checklist and insert it into the site log. Make
entries as each procedure is completed.
•
Upgrade and maintenance procedures—Use the site log as a record of ongoing router maintenance
and expansion history. A site log might include the following events:
–
Installation of GRWICs
–
Removal or replacement of GRWICs and other upgrades
–
Configuration changes
