Summary of procedures
1 Prepare equipment for installation; go to “Preparing the equipment for
installation” on page 62.
2 Place the fourth module on a column (if required); go to “Placing the
fourth module on a column” on page 65.
3 Position and level equipment; go to “Positioning and leveling
equipment” on page 71.
Note: If earthquake bracing is required, go to “Installing earthquake
bracing” on page 345. The section will provide procedures for installing
column and floor bracing and positioning and levelling equipment.
When those procedures are complete, return to Step 4 or Step 5 (as
applicable) in this summary.
4 Install overhead cable tray kits (if required); go to “Installing overhead
cable tray kits” on page 89.
5 Install power supplies in all modules:
a Make sure the system is disconnected from any power source.
b Set switches and breakers on all module power supplies or module
power distribution units (MPDU) to OFF.
c Insert each power supply into the appropriate card cage and hook the
locking devices.
6 Install a NT4N39AA CP PIV Processor Pack and blank faceplate
(N0026096) to cover MMDU slot
7 Install power equipment and ground wiring:
— For AC-powered systems, go to “Installing AC power” on page 77.
— For DC-powered systems, go to “Installing DC power” on page 93.
8 Plan and designate the main distribution frame (MDF); go to “Planning
and designating a Main Distribution Frame” on page 133.
9 Install Power Failure Transfer Units (PFTU) (if required); go to
“Installing Power Failure Transfer Units” on page 145.
10 Configure the system monitor; go to “Configuring the system monitor”
on page 151.
