Site Preparation Guide
General Recommendations
It is mandatory to comply with the procedures, design requirements and recommendations set
out in this guide. The construction of the Data Processing Center and the installation of
ancillary facilities must comply with:
• the level of safety required by the standards and laws in force in the country where the
server is to be installed,
• the Customer's requirements in terms of continuity of service.
All the standards referred to in this Site Preparation Guide are applicable in France.
Equivalent standards must be applied and complied with in other countries.
Site preparation must take all the following aspects into account:
• safety of personnel,
• primary / raised floor,
• suspended ceiling,
• sound-proofing,
• protection from sunlight,
• access control,
• fire protection,
• water protection,
• air-conditioning,
• power supply.
Warning:
The installation of an "on-line" Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is strongly recommended
to ensure continuity of service and to protect the system in the event of a mains failure.
On request, our local Customer Service Department can supply you with a list of the services
available for your server. These services include Data Processing Center site assessment and
conformity inspections.
Site preparation must be completed by the pre-arranged delivery date. Any delay due to
non-completion of the site by the pre-arranged date will be considered as the Customer's
responsibility.
The Customer shall bear the cost of the works to be carried out to attain stipulated safety and
continuity of operation requirements.
