Configuration Planning Tasks 6 • Power requirements, including an optional uninterruptable power supply (UPS). • Lengths of power cables and location of electrical outlets (for directors, switches, and the management server) having the proper phase, voltage, amperage, and ground connection. DANGER Use the supplied power cords. Ensure the facility power receptacle is the correct type, supplies the required voltage, and is properly grounded. • Security necessary to protect the installation's physical integrity, while maintaining accessibility to the director or switch. • Facility access and security clearances for installation personnel. • Equipment cabinet front and rear service clearances, operator clearances, and maintenance access clearances. • Weight of a Fabricenter equipment cabinet. Either multiple persons or a lift must be available during installation to remove the cabinet from the packing crate. • Heat dissipation, temperature, and humidity requirements. For specific actions required to satisfy this planning task, refer to Table 6-2 (Physical Planning and Hardware Installation Tasks), and Table 6-3 (Operational Setup Tasks). Task 2: Plan Fibre Channel Cable Routing Plan for sufficient singlemode fiber-optic, multimode fiber-optic, and Ethernet cabling to meet the connectivity requirements for all fabric elements (directors, fabric switches, and SAN routers), Fibre Channel servers, and devices. Plan for sufficient fiber-optic cabling to meet interswitch link (ISL) connectivity requirements and SAN routing requirements. Plan for at least one meter (39.37 inches) of fiber-optic cable inside the Fabricenter equipment cabinet for routing to product Fibre Channel ports as required. Plan for an additional 1.5 meters (5 feet) of cable outside the cabinet to provide slack for service clearance, limited cabinet movement, and inadvertent cable pulls. Configuration Planning Tasks 6-3
