2. Have all afr conditioning equipment installed,

conditioning system as soon as possible after the

IBM equipment has been installed.

2. As a preliminary check for clearance problems,
paper templates of the units (made to the scale of
your building plans) can be used on the building

It

may be convenient to make a rigid,

template along the access route to check for po-

Before attempting to make a layout, assign priorities

Operational requirements determine the specific

location of the

components in the computer

room. Because the separate components are con-
nected by cables

of:

specified length, and because of

space limitations, priority, and the necessity for
l)laintaining clearances between units for servicing,
work space, and aisles, you may need to prepare and
analyze several tentative layouts before deciding

upon lhe final plan. ·

If

you plan to in,sian the equipment in two
