Site Planning Checklist
1-10 Stratus ftServer V 100, V 200, and V 400 Systems: Site Planning Guide (R543)
❏ If you are using the AA-E97700 RSN Internet console server, provide an Ethernet
connection to the Internet.
❏ Obtain an outside telephone line for use when calling for service.
❏ If you are using the AA-E96600 RSN dialup console server, obtain a second
outside telephone line for the RSN modem.
CAUTIONCAUTION
!
RSN calls can be routed through a PBX, but this may
cause data loss. Stratus strongly recommends that you
use an outside line. If you must use a PBX, you cannot
route the phone extension through a switchboard; it must
be a direct-dial number.
❏ Use the equipment templates in Figure 3-1 and the site-layout grid in Figure 3-2 to
create a sketch of how the system will be arranged at the installation site. When
locating your system, consider the lengths of available power cords and
communications cables and the locations of power plugs, phone jacks, and
communications connectors. Use the information you provided in Table 2-1 and
Table 2-2.
❏ Provide the completed Tables 2-1 and 2-2, the site-layout grid, any notes you
make, and a copy of Appendix B to the facilities group or contractors who will be
performing site modifications.
❏ After providing the site planning information to your facilities group or contractor,
you may want to review and discuss the requirements to ensure that all site
modifications are addressed and understood.
❏ Determine where your system and peripheral devices will be unpacked. Plan to
unpack the ftServer V 100, V 200, or V 400 system as close to the installation site
as possible.
❏ Walk the path over which you will move your system from the delivery site to the
unpacking site. Determine if the door, hallway, and elevator dimensions are wide
enough to allow access. See ‘‘Main Cabinet’’ on page A-2 for dimensions of an
ftServer V 100, V 200, or V 400 system and its shipping container.
NOTE
Doorways must be a minimum of 28 in. (71 cm) wide.
Elevators must be a minimum of 28 in. (71 cm) wide,
41 in. (104 cm) long, and 74 in. (188 cm) high to
accommodate the passage of a system removed from its
shipping container. If a doorway or elevator is too small,
plan to unpack the shipping container before moving a
cabinet through the doorway or into the elevator.
