Locate the physical facilities.
Connect the facility alternating
current (AC) power circuits.
If more than one director or
switch, consider separate
power circuits for availability.
Obtain an uninterruptable power
supply (optional).
Recommended.
Obtain an outside-access phone
line.
Telephone for support
personnel.
Order the equipment rack with one
or more HP products.
Order Fibre Channel devices and
peripherals.
Install Fibre Channel devices and
peripherals.
Route fiber-optic jumper cables.
Determine proximity of the
equipment rack (with directors and
switches) to attached devices
(multimode shortwave laser or
single-mode longwave laser).
250 meters (2.125 Gbps) for
50/125 mm multimode cable.
150 meters (2.125 Gbps) for
62.5/125 mm multimode
cable.
10, 20, or 35 kilometers for
9/125 mm single-mode cable.
Order and deliver fiber-optic
cables.
Cables are purchased by the
customer separately. Plan to
have them arrive and laid out
before equipment rack delivery.
Set up local area network (LAN)
connections for directors, switches,
and the HAFM appliance.
Set up LAN connections to
corporate intranet for remote
workstation access (optional).
