1.5.1 Preparing for Site Installation

Site preparation for the ES3000 Ethernet Switch installation begins with a site survey and network analysis. Review the site survey reports to determine specific equipment placement, site-specific port capacity, and power drops. Ensure the installation area is free of dust and dirt.

Review the following guidelines for site preparation:

•Assign installation responsibility to appropriate personnel.

•Identify where all installed components are located.

•Verify appropriate rack mounting requirements.

•Arrange for a sufficient number of power drops to support the equipment installation.

•Verify adequate ventilation to all installed equipment.

•Identify and prepare Ethernet and TCP/IP and serial port connections.

•Verify cable lengths are within maximum allowable distances for optimal signal transmission.
