link reconfiguration or management of outside vendors)
• Ensure that telephone and high-speed internet access are available in the installation area (i.e. for software
download, updates, connectivity testing, etc.) If such communications are not available for physical,
technical or security reasons Customer will notify Dell during planning so the Engineer can plan
accordingly. Note that without connectivity some Service deliverables may not be possible (e.g. ‘phone
home’ testing).
• Ensure device connectivity within the Customer network and Firewall port configuration for connectivity
external to the Customer network.
• For network switch replacement scenarios, any activities involving existing cabling is the responsibility of
