Site Readiness Planning

Revision A
■ Site Evaluation – External Considerations
Several months before delivery of VSM5 system equipment, a readiness planning team
should identify and evaluate all external
site factors that present existing or potential haz-
ards, or which could adversely affect delivery, installation, or operation of the system. Ex-
ternal factors that should be evaluated include:
• Reliability and quality of electrical power provided by the local utility, backup power gen-
erators, and uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs), etc.
• Proximity of high-frequency electromagnetic radiation sources (e.g., high-voltage power
lines; television, radio, and radar transmitters)
• Proximity of natural or man-made floodplains and the resultant potential for flooding in
the data center
• Potential effects of pollutants from nearby sources (e.g., industrial plants).
If any existing or potential negative factors are discovered, the site readiness planning
team should take appropriate steps to eliminate or mitigate those factors before VSM5
system equipment is delivered. Sun Global Services offers consultation services and other
assistance to identify and resolve such issues. Contact your Sun account representative

■ Site Evaluation – Internal Considerations
Several months before delivery of VSM5 system equipment, a readiness planning team
should identify and evaluate all internal
site factors that present existing or potential haz-
ards, or which could adversely affect delivery, installation, or operation of the system. In-
ternal factors that should be evaluated include:
• Structural dimensions, elevator capacities, floor-load ratings, ramp inclines, and other
considerations when transfering equipment point-to-point between the delivery dock,
staging area, and data center installation site
• Site power system(s) design and capacity
• VSM5 system equipment power system design and capacity
• Data center safety system design features and capabilities
• Data center environmental (HVAC) design features and capabilities
• Potential effects of corrosive materials, electrical interference, or excessive vibration
from sources in close proximity to system equipment.
If any existing or potential negative factors are discovered, the site readiness planning
team should take appropriate steps to eliminate or mitigate those factors before VSM5
system equipment is delivered. Sun Global Services offers consultation services and other
assistance to identify and resolve such issues. Contact your Sun account representative
