2.3 Preparing the Cabling Site

It is the customer's responsibility to prepare the site prior to multirack cabling of Exalogic machines. Refer to the Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud Machine Owner's Guide for any server or equipment you plan to install in the rack for additional site preparation requirements.

Before installing Exalogic machines, perform the following tasks:

1. Thoroughly clean and vacuum the area in preparation for the installation.
2. Note any problems or peculiarities at the site that require special equipment.
3. Verify that the installation site flooring has a high enough strength rating to withstand the combined weight of an Exalogic machine and any installed equipment.
4. Install all necessary electrical equipment and ensure that sufficient power is provided.

   Refer to the Sun Rack II Power Distribution Units User's Guide for the power requirements of the Sun Rack II power distribution units (PDUs).

5. Ensure that the installation site provides adequate air conditioning.
6. Operate the air conditioning system for 48 hours to bring the room to the appropriate temperature.
