If you do not purchase the cabinet that NEC Solutions (America), Inc. references,
provide a cabinet that meets the system’s requirements.
• Electrical (AC) power planning
Provide electrical power sources that meet the system’s requirements, optionally
including the purchase of a qualified uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
• Network and telephone line planning
Provide sufficient network and analog telephone lines.
Welcome to Site Planning for Express5800/320Ma 3.2 GHz, 3.6 GHz, and Dual-Core systems 1-1
Site Planning for Fault-Tolerant Systems
Use the “Site Planning Checklist” on page 1-3 to track your site preparation progress.
For a list of other documents related to your Express5800/320Ma system, see “System
Documentation” on page 1-5.
During the site planning and preparation processes, work closely with your facilities
group or contractor to determine space, power, and environmental requirements. Enlist
their help to provide a suitable location with sufficient alternating current (AC) power,
heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) capabilities, and network and
telephone connections.
If your system is covered by a service agreem ent and you need help with site planning,
contact the NEC Technical Support. If you have a contract with the NEC Technical
Support to install the system, contact them after you have pre pared the installation site
and moved the system to the site. For more information about NEC Technical Support,
visit http://support.necsam.com/servers.
See Appendix A, “System Specifications” for Express5800/320Ma 3.2 GHz, 3.6 GHz,
or Dual-Core system specifications and the Express5800/320Ma: Peripherals Site
Planning Guide for specifications of other components.
Site Planning for Fault-Tolerant Systems
Consider the following specific fault-tolerant features of Express5800/320Ma 3.2 GHz,
3.6 GHz, and Dual-Core systems for site planning:
• Lockstep technology means that the Express5800/320Ma 3.2 GHz and 3.6 GHz
systems contain redundant hardwa re. The Express5800/320Ma 3.2 GHz and 3.6
GHz systemssystems contain two enclosures, each cont aining a full computing
environment that consists of a CPU element and an I/O element.
If a component in a CPU element malf unctions, the correspon ding CPU element in
the other enclosure, which is processing the same information in lockstep,
continues processing without interruption. If a component in the I/O element
malfunctions, the system fails operation over to the corresponding element in the
other enclosure and continues to operate normally. Th e only consequences are
that the system is less fault tolerant, and any I/O throughput distributed between
the enclosures may be reduced. To restore full fault tolerance , an enclosure can
be replaced without taking the system offline.
• Express5800/320Ma 3.2 GHz and 3.6 GHz systems can connect to the
ActiveService Network (ASN).
Connecting a system to the ASN allows the NEC Technical Support to remotely
diagnose, troubleshoot, and resolve problems online.
1-2 Express5800/320Ma: Site Planning Guide
T o e nable connectivity to th e ASN, a modem can be attached directly to the system
and managed by Windows Server software or two partnered Virtual Technician
Modules (VTMs) in the system. The VTMs can also connect to the ASN through
their Ethernet ports, if the network to which they are attached has Internet access.
Systems that connect to the ASN using partnered VTMs provide the highest level
of availability. VTMs provide ASN connectivity even when the operating system is
not operational. VTMs also allow internal adminis trators to re mo te ly se rvice the
system over a t elephone line or IP netw ork, regardless of the state of the operating
system.
Without VTMs, ASN connectivity is only possible if the operating system is
operational.
Site Planning Checklist
Referring to the information in this document, answer t he following questions:
Planning for ASN Connectivity
❏ Will your system use VTMs to connect to the ASN?
❏ If your system uses VTMs, will you connect them to a network so that you can
manage the server from a remote system? Are there mainten ance network
connections to which you can connect the VTMs?
Site Planning Checklist
❏ If your VTMs are connected to a netw ork, does the network have Internet
connectivity so that the system can connect to the ASN without a modem?
❏ If your system uses an ASN modem, do you have an external analog telephone line
available for the modem?
NOTE
A dedicated phone line provides the most reliable service.
ASN calls routed through a PBX may be slo w due to load
on the PBX, or may not complete successfu lly due to
disconnections. If you must use a PBX, do not route the
telephone extension through a switchboard; instead,
provide a direct-dial analog number.
❏ Do you hav e an additional telephone line and telephon e near the operator’ s station
for voice communications when calling for support?
Planning for Optional Components
❏ The system contains four 10/100/1000 megabits-per-second (Mbps) Ethernet
ports. Will your system additionally include any of the following PCI adapters for
network communications? If so, indicate how many of each and plan network
connections for all Ethernet ports you will use.

For requirements related to supplying your own cabinet and monitor, see:
• “Cabinet Requirements” on page 2-1
• “Monitor Requirements” on page 2-4
Cabinet Requirements
If you are providing your own cabinet for an Express5800/320Ma 3.2 GHz, 3.6 GHz, or
Dual-Core systems, make sure the cabinet contains a rack that is 19-in. wide and that
meets the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) 310-D standard.
Make sure that:
• The cabinet contains two front and two rear v ertical EIA rails, one in each corner of
the cabinet, that have the EIA universal square-hole pattern as defined in the EIA
310-D specification.
• The front vertical rails extend at least 0.5 in. (1.27 cm) beyond the inside edge of
the accessory leg, if present, to allow the mounting rails to be fit ted. See Figure 2-1.
Cabinet and Monitor Requirements
2-
• The distance between the front and r ear vertical rails is between 24 .5 in. and 30 in.
(62.23 cm and 76.20 cm).
• The vertical mounting rails accept 10-32 cage nuts and mounting hardware.
• The distance between the front vertical rails and the inside of the front door is at
least 3.0 in. (7.62 cm).
• The distance between the rear of t he system chassis and the inside of the rear do or
is at least 6.0 in. (15.24 cm).
• The vertical mounting rails are plated or some other method is used to ensure
continuity for g rounding between installed equipment.
• Cable management brac kets are pro vided to support and constrain data and power
cords so that the cables do not interfere with air flow out of the rear of the
enclosures, and so that the connectors do not disconnect or break.
• The cabinet provides enough stability so that system components pass T elcordia
®
GR-63-CORE Section 5.4.2 regulations for operational vibration.
Cabinet and Monitor Requirements 2-1
Cabinet Requirements
• To prevent stray voltages, all components are grounded together through the
vertical mounting rails to the cabinet frame, and then to local building ground. To
ensure signal quality , us e a grounding cable pr ovided by NEC Solutions (America),
Inc. for local building ground.
• There is a plan for maintaining cables and wires to the cabinet by either running
them under the floor or placing them overhead in an overhead cable tray.
• Air flows through the cabinet from f ront to back.
• Filler panels cover any unused rack space to prevent air recirculation.
• V ents are evenly distributed on the front and rear doors and comprise at least 63%
of the surface area.
Figure 2-1 shows the required rail clearance between the front vertical rails and the
inside edge of an accessory leg.
NOTE

Redundant Power Sources
Express5800/320Ma 3.2 GHz, 3.6 GHz, and Dual-Core systems require at least two
separate and independent AC power sources–an A-side power source and a B-side
power source–that provide power to the system’s power receptacles, labeled,
respectively, A and B. Either source must be capable of continuing to provide power if
power to the other source is lost.
Electrical (AC) Power Planning
4-
The A-side power source provides power to components th at do not require two
sources of power: a KVM switch. If you use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), the
UPS is the A-side power source.
The B-side power source provides power to the oth e r side of ea ch syste m .
The wattage required from the A-side power source will always be equal to or greater
than the wattage required from the B-side power source.

KVM switch 100–240V; 50/60 Hz See Table 4-13.
100–240V; 50/60 Hz See Table 4-9.
The power service must be properly wired and grounded a ccording to local standar ds
and regulations. See Appendix B for electrical circuit and wiring information.
NOTE
Circuit breakers must provide a protective earth ground
current at a maximum of 3.5 milliamperes for each AC
power cord.
Use the following worksheets to determine AC power requirements for the site.
• In Table 4-2, determine the power requirements at the A-side power source.
• In Table 4-3, determine the power requirements at the B-side power source.
• In Table 4-4, determine the power requirements for components outside of the
cabinet. These components can share a power source with the A-side or B-side
components.
To determine power requirements
Provide information in Tables 4-2, 4-3, and 4-4 as follows:
1. In the Quantity column, write the number of each type of component.
2. Multiply the entry in the Qua nt ity colu m n by the number in the @ Power (Watts)
column, and enter the result in the AC Power (Extended) column.
3. Add the values in the AC Power (Extended) column, and enter the sum on the
bottom line. This value indicates the maximum power requirement for each power
source.

Connecting a System Directly to Two Separate Po wer Sources
If you do not connect your Express5800/320Ma 3.2 GHz or 3.6 GHz system or PDUs
to a UPS, provide two AC power sources that are as electrically independent of each
other as the installation site allows. At a minimum, the two pow er sou rce s mu st be
powered by separate circuit breakers (maximum of 2 0A) to AC power and, if po ssible,
be independent of each other beyond that level. The more electrical separation
between the two power sources, the less likely they will both fail at the same time. Due
to redundancy in Express5800/320Ma 3.2 GHz and 3.6 GHz syste ms, power to eit her
side of the system keeps the system in operation, although the system is no longer
fault-tolerant with regard to power.
Figure 4-1 shows how to connect a rack-mounted Express5800/320Ma 3.2 GHz,
3.6GHz, or Dual-Core system directly to two separate AC power sources, and

Telephone Line Requirements
Generally, two telephone lines are required to ensure technical support for your
Express5800/320Ma 3.2 GHz or 3.6 GHz system:
• One telephone line for use when calling for service
• One analog telephone connection point for the modem
A 7-ft (2.13m) telephone cable, part number AW-B202 45, is shipped with the
modem assembly.
NOTES
1. If you implement ftGateway groups, you do not need
to supply telephone connection points for each
system. See “Site Planning for Systems in an
ftGateway Group” for more information.
6-2 Express5800/320Ma: Site Planning Guide
Site Planning for Systems in an ftGateway Group
2. If your system will be configured with VTMs whose
network ports are connected to a network with
Internet access, your system will not have a modem
installed for ASN support, and the second telephone
line will not be necessary.
3. A dedicated phone line provides the most reliable
service. ASN calls routed through a PBX might be
slow due to the load on the PBX, or might not
complete successfully because the calls can become
disconnected. If you must use a PBX, do not route the
telephone extension through a switchboard; instead,
provide a direct-dial analog number.
Site Planning for Systems in an ftGateway Group
Multiple Express5800/320Ma systems at a site can share a single telephone
connection to the ASN by implementing an ftGateway group. Unless VTMs are
installed in each system, the systems in the group must be connected to a single
physical Ethernet subnetwork. One system acts as a gateway for ASN connectivity.
This gateway system requires an analog telephone line that connects to the modem.
Other systems in the gateway group, called gateway slaves, connect to the gateway
system over the network. In this case, Ethernet connections are required for each
system, but only two analog telephone lines for each site are required.
Members of an ftGateway group:
• Are limited to a maximum of 20 Express5800/320Ma systems.
• Must connect to the same subnetwork through system Ethernet ports, ports of
Ethernet adapters, or VTMs. An ftGateway group that contains
Express5800/320Ma 3.2 GHz, 3.6 GHz, or Dual- Core systems can con sist of one
of the following:
– Slave systems with no remote management adapter in a group with an
ftGateway system that has VTMs
– Slave systems that have VTMs in a group with an ftGateway system that has
VTMs
Using VTMs provides the highest level of manageability b y allo wing the system to
be serviced even when the operating system is not operational.
NOTE
You cannot mix VTMs and ftServer Access Adapters in
the same ftGateway group. ftServer Access Adapters are
Network and Telephone Line Planning 6-3
Site Planning for Systems in an ftGateway Group
system management adapters used in earlier models of
Express5800/320Ma systems.
Make sure that only layer 1 and layer 2 devices separate the gateway and slave
systems. During a connection, the gateway system assign s the slave system a
temporary IP address from an IP addr ess range reserved by NEC Solutions (America),
Inc. and uses that address for all traffic.

The B-side (bottom) PDU provides power to the other side of each system.
Because the A-side PDU always uses at least as many power cords an d consumes at
least as much power as the B-side PDU, plan the cabinet configuration so that the
A-side PDU can support the configuration.
Rack Configuration Planning 7-1
Determining PDU Requirements
NOTES
1. Connect each PDU to a separate AC power source.
2. Install a maximum of two pairs of PDUs in a rack.
Use the information in “Determining PDU Requirements” on page 7-2 to plan the rack
configuration for your Express5800/320Ma system. “Sample PDU Usage Calculation”
on page 7-4 shows how to use the information you gather for planning the rack
configuration.
Determining PDU Requirements
Using the nominal voltage rating of the power receptacle at your site and the total
wattage of the components that will draw power from the A-side PDU, complete the
information in Tables 7-1 and 7-2. This information will help you determine the current
that the Express5800/320Ma 3.2 GHz, 3.6 GHz, and Dual-Core systems and
rack-mounted components will draw and whether you need a second pair of PDUs.
To complete Table 7-1
1. Obtain the voltage available at your location. Consult a facilities manager at your
site to make sure you know the correct voltage.
2. For each type of component you plan to place in the rack, calculate the required
current, as follows: Divide the wattage of the element, listed in th e W atts column of
Table 7-1, by the voltage a vailab le at yo ur site. Multiply the result by 1.25 and enter
the value in the Current column.

To complete Table 7-2
1. In column 1, write the names of each system or component in the rac k. If you ha ve
more than one system, use a row for each system.
2. In column 2, write the cumulative number of rac k units (Us): Add t he number of Us
(see Table 7-1) for the component to the value in the space above and write the
result.
3. In column 3, write the cumulative n umber of outlets required. F or each component,
add 1 to the value in the space above and write the result.
4. In column 4, write the cumulative current required. For each component, add the
current for the compon ent, which you entered in Table 7-1, to the value in the space
above and write the result.
You need another pair of PDUs if the cumulative number of outlet s exceeds 8 or if the
cumulative current exceeds 15A. Use the informa tion in column 2 to plan the size and
number of racks required.

Electrical Circuit and Wiring Information
For electrical circuit and wiring information that you need to provide to the contractor
and/or facilities personnel responsible for wiring the power at the system installation
site, see:
• “Fault Protection Requirements” on page B-1
• “Grounding Considerations” on page B-1
• “Circuit Wiring Diagrams” on page B-3
• “Electrical Power Connectors” on page B-9
Fault Protection Requirements
Each enclosure in Express5800/320Ma 3.2 GHz, 3.6 GHz, or Dual-Core systems
contains internal fault/overload current pr otection. However, the system relies on the
power distribution system at your site for protect ion against potential faults in the p ower
cords and the wiring in the system base.
• If you are using a pair of PDUs in the cabinet, use 30A or less circuit breakers in
each power distribution br anch that feeds the PDUs.
B-
• T o connect a single system t o power , use 20A or less circuit breakers in each powe r
distribution branch that feeds the systems.
Grounding Considerations
The system obtains an earth reference ground thr ough the power cords attached to the
system. Similarly, each peripheral device connected to the system obtains ground
through its power cord. For each peripheral device, you must ensure that a
high-integrity safety-ground conductor is installed as part of the wiring system (in
accordance with U.S. national electric code NFPA 70 or the equivalent). The
international safety standard (EN60950) for electronic data processing (EDP)
equipment also requires a ground conducto r, but calls it a protective earth (PE) ground.
Depending upon local conditions, ground potentials may differ between the system
base and any peripheral devices connected to the system base . All grounds in the
system must return to the same reference point in the power distribution system, as
close as possible to zero (0) volt potential relative to earth reference ground. Ear th
Electrical Circuit and Wiring Information B-1
Grounding Considerations
reference ground is typically a metal stake in the ground to which the ground
conductors from one or more buildings are attached.
As shown in Figure B-1, a star ground is often used to obtain the same earth reference
ground. Each earth reference ground, such as the system base ground, is returned
separately to a common point where a zero-volt (0V) earth ground exists. The star
ground ensures that all equipment is at the same potent ial and that no noise or sa fety
problems associated with an unpredictable or uncharacterized grounding system will
occur.

Circuit Wiring Diagrams
The following circuit wiring diagrams show how the hot, ground, and/or neutral AC
signals should be connected to the system’s power input plug:
• Figure B-3 illustrates a single-phase 120-volts AC circuit connection.
• Figure B-4 illustrates a single-phase 240-volts AC circuit connection.
• Figure B-5 illustrates a split-phase 120/240-volts AC circuit connection.
• Figure B-6 illustrates a three-phase 208-volts AC, Y-, or ∆-source circuit
connection, phase-to-neutral.
• Figure B-7 illustrates a three-phase 208-volts AC, Y-, or ∆-source circuit
connection, phase-to-phase.
• Figure B-8 illustrates a three-phase 380V AC, Y-, or ∆-sourc e circ uit conn e ctio n,
phase-to-neutral.
In the diagrams in this appendix, the power inputs for Express5800/320Ma 3.2 GHz,
3.6 GHz, or Dual-Core system are labeled X and Y, as shown in Figure B-2, to
eliminate any ambiguities in the nomenclature. For single-phase applications, the X
input is connected to the L (Line) hot input, and the Y input is connected to the N
(Neutral) input. However, for split-phase or thre e-phase applications, the X and Y
inputs are connected to L1, L2, or L3 (separate lines). Therefore, for split-phase or
three-phase applications, both X and Y can be electrically hot with respect to the
system base (earth reference ground). Figure B-2 shows the physical locations of the
X and Y inputs on the system base.
