1 Verify Site Preparation
Caution
Review your system warranty. It may require that a Digital service
representative install your system to prevent damage to equipment or
software.
If you are installing a DSSI VAXcluster configuration, and you are a licensed
self-maintenance customer, you should be familiar with the contents of your DSSI
VAXcluster Installation and Troubleshooting manual.
Caution
If you are installing a DSSI configuration, to prevent system performance
degradation or data corruption caused by excessive ground offset voltages,
make sure your site power distribution system does not have any of the
grounding faults listed in your Site Preparation manual.
The installation instructions that follow assume:
• Your site meets all the requirements listed in the system Site Preparation
manual.
• All cables that you plan to connect to your system are in place and clearly
labeled.
Terminal data cables?
Telephone cables?
Network cables?
• You have the following tools (not included in your shipment).
Scissors
Flat-blade screwdriver
Phillips (cross-point) screwdriver
Adjustable wrench
Voltmeter calibrated for millivolts
