EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Because of the centralized nature of the ClearCube architecture, installation of the system
requires a certain degree of site preparation. Proper preparation will result in a rapid installation
and long-term trouble-free operation. In some cases, such as installation in pre-existing data
centers and/or network closets, this preparation will not require many modifications to the site. In
other cases, it may be necessary to convert closets or backrooms to accommodate chassis and
blades.
This paper will describe the steps required for ensuring all pre-installation activities and site
preparation steps are identified. The paper details what environmental conditions need to exist
(cooling, power, architectural supports, etc.) for successful installation and why they are
necessary. In addition, observations from the field are documented to illustrate areas requiring
particular attention during your installation.
This paper is a companion document to the ClearCube Site Prep Checklist (found on the
ClearCube Support
website), which must be completed and signed by the customer's Project
Manager and the ClearCube (or Partner) Account Executive to verify that the customer site is
ready for installation.
The CompleteStart™ Professional Services Program is available to help customers resolve
issues at any time during pre-installation preparation as well as during the installation itself. This
service will ensure that installation of the ClearCube Solution is as smooth as possible for the IT
staff and transparent to the user. CompleteStart is a comprehensive program covering three vital
areas: Pre-installation Readiness, Training and Installation.
