Before you start the installation

The pre-installation team should have done the following tasks. If they were not all done, do not continue with the installation.

•Verify that the open, customer-supplied, EIA-310D (or equivalent) standard 19-inch (48- centimeter) equipment racks are properly installed and solidly secured. Make sure that the screws that come with the racks are there. The S8700 Media Server requires a 2-post rack. The S8710 Media Server requires a 4-post rack. If using a rack cabinet, make sure it has adequate ventilation.

•Verify that the rail kit to support the S8710 Media Server are available for installation.

•Verify that the rail kits, required to support the very heavy UPSs, are installed on the rack or available for installation. For information on installing the rails, refer to the documentation that comes with the rail kits.

•Verify that the equipment rack(s) is(are) grounded per local code. See Job Aid: Approved Grounds (555-245-772).

•Verify that the customer provides AC power to the rack from a nonswitched outlet.

•Verify that cabling for the TN2312BP Internet Protocol Server Interface (IPSI) circuit packs is labeled and run from the control hardware rack to the port networks or that appropriate connectivity is provided.

•Verify that you have all the equipment on site. See Table 3, List of required hardware, on page 20 for the list of required hardware.
