2 Site Preparation

This chapter describes how to prepare your site for installing Extreme Networks equipment. It contains

information on environmental and cabling requirements, power requirements, and building and

electrical code organizations.

This chapter describes:

• Planning Your Site on page 20

• Meeting Site Requirements on page 20

• Evaluating and Meeting Cable Requirements on page 28

• Meeting Power Requirements on page 33

• Applicable Industry Standards on page 36

The requirements described in this chapter are intended for the system administrator, network

equipment technician, or network manager who is responsible for installing and managing the network

hardware. It assumes a working knowledge of local area network (LAN) operations, and a familiarity

with communications protocols that are used on interconnected LANs. Installation, maintenance, and

removal of a switch, chassis, or its components must be done by qualified service personnel only.

Qualified service personnel have had appropriate technical training and experience that is necessary to

be aware of the hazards to which they are exposed when performing a task and of measures to

minimize the danger to themselves or other people.

By carefully planning your site, you can maximize the performance of your existing network and ensure

that it is ready to migrate to future networking technologies.

To learn more about safety issues and to ensure safety compliance, see AppendixA.
