CHAPTER 2 Installation Sites
1
This chapter details the recommended sites and structures and the buildings in which
server systems can be installed, and the structures of the computer rooms.
Server systems setups can be classified into two broad forms: one in which a server
system is installed in a computer room for message collection and distribution
processing and perform calculation processing, and one in which a server system is
installed conveniently in an office for use as a stand-alone machine or as one
connected to a communications network.
This chapter presents a variety of tips and hints for determining the most appropriate
locations for server systems. The importance of the individual tips and hints, however,
depends on the intended use of the server system. Alternative or corrective actions
may be available for particular items. The server system department of the user's
organization is recommended to hold in-depth consultations on requirements for
determining a server system's location with its department in charge of construction or
with a building contractor.
2.1 Building Location
The building in which a server system is to be installed should be conveniently
located for systems development and administration, afford good access to utility
services, such as electricity, water, and telephone lines, and ensure security.
2.1.1 Sites convenient for systems development and administration
When selecting sites conveniently located for systems development and
administration, take the following factors into consideration:
z Commutation of the management and employees
z Communication with the related departments
z Traffic to and from subcontractors
