Before you start the installation

ATTENTION

Make sure you install the latest software loads. Check with your support team for the correct latest load.

Prerequisites

Have available your completed Customer-Specific Information (CSI) datasheet. Refer to the MCS 5100 Network Deployment and Engineering Guide, NN10313-191,that accompanies the MCS product for CSI and system requirements. Make a copy of the CSI datasheet from Appendix E of the MCS 5100 Network Deployment and Engineering Guide (NN10313-191). Fill out the datasheet with relevant information from your system administrator.

You must have read and understood all the Release Notes before the installation begins.

Nortel Networks strongly recommends the use of high-speed data network connectivity for optimum remote service capability. Without broadband connectivity, remote service options are limited. Nortel Networks recommends the Contivity Remote Access Solutions for this function.

Nortel Networks also recommends following standard data center conventions for having a Universal Power Supply (UPS) as the power backup for the servers. For more information, refer to the MCS 5100 Network Deployment and Engineering Guide, NN10313-191,which shows how to connect servers to two different UPS systems for maximum uptime.

For power over Ethernet in the closet switches, Nortel Networks recommends use of the Ethernet Switch 460 Power Over LAN layer 2 Ethernet switches.
