Before you start the installation
Prerequisites
Have available your completed Customer-Specific Information (CSI)
datasheet. Refer to the MCS 5100 Network Deployment and
Engineering Guide, NN10313-191, that accompanies the MCS product
for CSI and system requirements. Make a copy of the CSI datasheet
from Appendix E of the MCS 5100 Network Deployment and
Engineering Guide (NN10313-191). Fill out the datasheet with relevant
information from your system administrator.
You must have read and understood all the Release Notes before the
installation begins.
Nortel Networks strongly recommends the use of high-speed data
network connectivity for optimum remote service capability. Without
broadband connectivity, remote service options are limited. Nortel
Networks recommends the Contivity Remote Access Solutions for this
function.
Nortel Networks also recommends following standard data center
conventions for having a Universal Power Supply (UPS) as the power
backup for the servers. For more information, refer to the MCS 5100
Network Deployment and Engineering Guide, NN10313-191, which
shows how to connect servers to two different UPS systems for
maximum uptime.
For power over Ethernet in the closet switches, Nortel Networks
recommends use of the Ethernet Switch 460 Power Over LAN layer 2
Ethernet switches.
ATTENTION
Make sure you install the latest software loads. Check with your
support team for the correct latest load.
