Planning Your Site
To install your equipment successfully, you should plan the site carefully. The site planning process has
three major parts:
●
Meeting site requirements
The physical installation site must meet the following requirements for a safe and successful
installation:
-
Building and electrical code requirements
-
Environmental, safety, and thermal requirements for the equipment you plan to install
-
Equipment rack requirements
●
Evaluating and meeting cable requirements
After examining your physical site and verifying that all environment requirements are met, evaluate
and compare your existing cable plant with the requirements of the Extreme Networks equipment to
determine if you need to install new cables.
●
Meeting power requirements
To run your equipment safely, you must meet the specific power requirements for each switch and
external power supply unit installed in the system. For power specifications of the switches, see the
specific switch listings in
Appendix B
. For power specifications of the external power supplies, see
“Summit External Power Supplies” on page 495
.
Meeting Site Requirements
This section describes requirements to consider when preparing your installation site, and includes the
following topics:
●
Operating Environment Requirements
(next section)
●
Rack Specifications and Recommendations on page 179
Operating Environment Requirements
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 network, 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. This section lists resources for obtaining additional
information.
For information about major building codes, consult the following organization:
International Code Council (ICC), 5203 Leesburg Pike; Falls Church, Virginia 22041 USA.
