2-4 Site Preparation
2 Planning
Assigning Specialists
The concept of “specialists” represents the recognition that, at most facilities, no
one person will do all the preparatory work.
• Site Coordinator – One person should manage the site preparation process. The
site coordinator will plan the installation, maintain the system plan drawing,
and check off the site prep checklist. The site coordinator may assign all the
other specialists.
• System Administrator – Any successful system requires good system
administration. One person should have responsibility of the system
administration.
• Structural Specialist – The structural specialist will verify that the floor is
suitable for the system in terms of strength and anti-static properties. This
specialist will examine the route from the receiving area to the system’s
proposed location and decide how best to move the system to that place.
Storage will be required after the system is in operation, and the structural
specialist will decide what storage is needed. Chapter 3, Structural
Requirements is the primary reference for the structural specialist.
• EMC Specialist – If the installation is in a location where radiated
radio-frequency (RF) emissions are restricted for this equipment, such as
member states of the European Union, Canada, USA or Australia, an EMC
Specialist is needed to assure that the installation meets the required
attenuation. This specialist will also be responsible to arrange any on-site
testing that may be needed. Chapter 4, RF Attenuation Requirements is the
primary reference for the EMC Specialist.
• Environmental Specialist – The environmental specialist will verify that your
site’s environment is suitable for the system. Air quality, ambient temperature,
cooling capacity, humidity, and electromagnetic interference are areas that the
environmental specialist must address. Chapter 5, Environmental Requirements
contains information for this specialist.
• Electrical Specialist – The electrical specialist will plan and install the mains
power for the system and the convenience outlets for the other system
equipment. These items should be marked on the system plan drawing.
Chapter 6, Power Requirements contains the electrical information.
• Air and Vacuum Specialist – The compressed air and vacuum specialist will
plan and install the compressed air supply for your system. Air lines should be
marked on the system plan drawing. The specialist will also plan and install
your system’s vacuum control system. Vacuum lines should be marked on the
system plan drawing. The information pertaining to air and vacuum control is in
Chapter 7, Compressed Air and Vacuum Requirements.
• Communications Specialist – The communications specialist will install the
LAN cables to your system. LAN cables and telephone lines should be marked
on the system plan drawing.
