Prior to the system installation, confirm that the following requirements have been met.
Miscellaneous
- Have system administrators and operators been enrolled in the necessary Sun Microsystems training course, ES-421, Sun Fire 15K Server Administration?
- Is a security clearance required for this site? If so, has local Sun Microsystems Enterprise Services Management been notified of the required security level?
Note: Clearances can take months to obtain, so timely notification is important.
- Was the Cluster Platform 15K/9960 System Site Planning Guide provided to all pertinent members of the customer staff including the facility planning and operations team for review during the site planning process?
Environmental Requirements
- Does the computer room environment meet the Sun Microsystems specifications for temperature and humidity listed in TABLE 3-1?
- Confirm there is sufficient unused temperature capacity supporting the computer area to handle the increase in load from this system. Redundant capacity should not be considered. See TABLE 3-1.
- Verify that the correct number of circuit breaker pole positions are available to connect the systems properly.
- Determine the source of power for the system. Are the sources of power consistent with the intended power connection configurations?
- Is the computer room voltage between 200-240 VAC?
- Have sufficient power receptacles been ordered for the system? See TABLE 4-1.
- Ensure the power receptacles are within 14 ft (427 cm cable length) of the system location.
- Are the circuit breakers for the system properly installed and labeled?
Physical Specifications
- Has the system location been established?
- Does the equipment floor layout meet the equipment maintenance access requirements? See Computer Room Layout.
- Confirm the equipment is positioned so that the minimum distance from the discharge of a heat-rejecting device meets the suggestions in TABLE 3-1.
- Are the floor cutouts for the system in place?
- Are suggested perforated floor panels in place? See Computer Room Layout.
- Confirm the raised-floor system and the raised-floor tiles are rated for the loads imposed by the system.
- Is the system positioned to correspond to the precise edge of raised-floor tile locations? Casters and leveling feet must be on solid raised-floor tiles.
- Have you had a structural engineer evaluate the building structure for the anticipated weight of the system?
Network Planning
- Have the Ethernet connections in Chapter 5 been considered for the customer network?
- Have all networking cables been ordered to arrive prior to installation?
- Have all network connections for each configured network controller been ordered?
- Have all IP addresses for each configured network controller been assigned?
- Are the Ethernet connections available to the public network?
Planning Your Access Route
- Has a 60-inch pallet jack been obtained for transporting the system cabinet on the pallet? (Refer to the Sun Fire 15K System Unpacking Guide, part number
806-3508.)
- Has an access route to the final system location been identified?
- Does the access route satisfy the access requirements outlined in Planning Your Access Route?
- Have provisions been made to cover irregular or engraved floor patterns along the access route to reduce vibration?
- Have personnel been allocated to unload the system during delivery? (Refer to the Sun Fire 15K System Unpacking Guide, part number 806-3508.)
- Does the loading dock meet the standard freight-carrier truck requirements? Trucks can be between 48 ft (14.6 meters) and 61 ft (18.6 meters) long, 8.5 ft (2.6 meters) wide, and 14 ft (4.3 meters) high.
- If the loading dock does not meet the standard freight-carrier truck requirements, has a forklift been allocated for delivery? (Refer to the Sun Fire 15K System Unpacking Guide, part number 806-3508.)
- Has a truck with a lift gate that can accommodate the crated system been requested through the Sales Desk Service Liaison (cs-10k@oregon.west)? See Planning Your Access Route of this Site Planning Guide for physical specifications.
- Does the access route meet the floor-loading requirements for the system?
- Do the pallet-jack fork dimensions meet requirements for the shipping crate? See Planning Your Access Route.
- Are the elevator and elevator door dimensions adequate? See Chapter 2.
- Is the elevator weight capacity adequate? See Chapter 2.
- Does each ramp incline, in the access route, have an incline that is less than 10 degrees? Refer to the Sun Fire 15K System Unpacking Guide. This is less than a 12-inch rise in ten feet.
- Has a crate unloading area next to the raised floor been identified?
- Have provisions been made to protect the raised floor along the delivery path?
- Is each door opening along the delivery path wide and tall enough to accommodate the system?
