and a safe and efficient work environment. To select and prepare a location for
your cluster, consider the following:
The path from the receiving dock to the installation area
Availability of appropriate equipment and qualified personnel
Space for unpacking, installing, and servicing the computer equipment
Sufficient floor strength for the computer equipment
Cabling requirements, including the placement of network and Fibre
Channel cables within one room (under the subfloor, on the floor, or
overhead) and possibly between rooms
Client LAN resource planning, including the number of hubs or
switches and cables to connect to the cluster nodes
Environmental conditions, including temperature, humidity, and air
quality
Power, including voltage, current, grounding, noise, outlet type, and
equipment proximity
IMPORTANT:
Carefully review the power requirements for your cluster components to
identify special electrical supply needs in advance.
