Preparing to Install a System
Site Planning Overview 1-11
❏ If you are installing the system on a raised floor, obtain two or three pieces of
plywood. Before you move the cabinets across the raised floor, lay the plywood on
the floor to prevent the floor tiles from popping up.
❏ Review your responsibilities for preparing to install a system in ‘‘Preparing to Install
a System’’ on page 1-11.
If you have any questions during the site planning process, contact the CAC or Stratus
distributor. The CAC telephone numbers are provided on the CAC Web site at
http://www.stratus.com/support/cac.
Preparing to Install a System
To prepare for the installation of an ftServer V 100, V 200, or V 400 system by a Stratus
field engineer, you must perform the following tasks:
1. Complete all site preparation work.
2. Take delivery of the system (as described in ‘‘Preparing to Take Delivery of a
System’’ on page 1-11).
3. Move the system to its installation site (as described in ‘‘Moving the System to the
Installation Site’’ on page 1-12).
Preparing to Take Delivery of a System
Before you take delivery of your system, perform the following tasks:
1. Secure traffic permits for the delivery vehicle and security clearances for moving
the shipping container within your facility if necessary.
2. Determine a suitable delivery site with enough space for unloading the system.
3. Make sure that the delivery site will accommodate the delivery vehicle.
NOTE
Depending on the system configuration and the
components you have ordered, a separate carton
containing components may be shipped with your system.
When your system arrives, do the following:
 Check the Tip-N-Tell and Shockwatch motion sensors to determine if they have
been activated. If a sensor has been activated, or if there is any damage, report it
immediately to the carrier and to the Stratus CAC.
 Check the packing list. If you received the wrong shipment, or if the shipment is
incomplete, report it immediately to the carrier and to the Stratus CAC.
