Preparation
Checklist: Before your unit arrives
Personnel
Choose the technical people who will set up the SUR40. The people must provide the
appropriate information from this checklist and accept the Software License Agreement.
Locations
• Choose a final destination for the SUR40 that can support the device and that provides
enough room for people to interact with device from all sides.
•
Finish any optimizations to the area around the SUR40 (such as staging or seating).
•
Choose an unpacking location and make sure that the SUR40 can easily move from the
unpacking location to the final destination.
•
Make sure there is ventilation in the Surface location to expel heat away from the unit.
•
Prepare security measures to keep the SUR40 safe in the venue.
Lighting
• Ensure that no light sources shine directly onto, above, or across the surface display.
•
Ensure the Surface display does not have a direct line of sight to exterior windows.
•
Keep lighting levels within target thresholds.
• Use diffused energy efficient compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) or cool white LEDs to light
the surrounding area.
•
Measure and evaluate environmental lighting conditions.
•
Fine tune lighting with the Environment Lighting Optimizer after deploying SUR40.
Administration
•
Prepare an administrator account name and password to use when the technician sets up
the SUR40.
•
Prepare a machine name for each unit.
Connections
•
Make sure an electrical outlet and any other connections are prepared and ready. If you
are not able to use a floor-recessed receptacle, be sure you have a cable protector or other
solution so that cables are not a tripping hazard.
• Prepare network or accessory connections and have the cables ready to attach to the
SUR40.
Software and hardware
• Prepare your applications (and any additional software that they require) for installation.
• Prepare any security or network software that is required for your company (for example,
antivirus software or settings to connect the SUR40 to your Wi-Fi network, domain or
workgroup).
• Review the SUR40 Quick Start Guide and Microsoft Surface 2.0 Administration Guide (http://
technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee692162.aspx) for more information regarding setup.
