General Site Preparation Guidelines Typical Installation Schedule Typical Installation Schedule The following schedule lists the sequence of events for a typical system installation: • 60 days before installation - Floor plan design completed and mailed to Hewlett-Packard (if required to be an HP task) • 30 days before installation - Primary power and air conditioning installation completed - Telephone and data cables installed - Fire protection equipment installed - Major facility changes completed - Special delivery requirements defined - Site inspection survey completed - Delivery survey completed - A signed copy of the site inspection and delivery survey mailed to Hewlett-Packard - Site inspection and predelivery coordination meeting arranged with a Hewlett-Packard representative to review the inspection checklist and arrange an installation schedule. • 7 days before installation - Final check made with an Hewlett-Packard site preparation specialist to resolve any last minute problems NOTE Not all installations follow a schedule like the one noted above. Sometimes, an hp server is purchased through another vendor which can preclude a rigid schedule. Other conditions could also prevent following this schedule. For those situations, consider a milestone schedule. • Site Preparation - schedule with the customer as soon as possible after the order is placed. • Site Verification - schedule with the customer a minimum of one to two days before the hp server is scheduled to be installed.
