Cisco Cisco Administrative Workstation Installation Guide

Once you have provisioned IXC access, ordered the required ACD/PBX options, 
ordered the PC platform, and determined your data communications 
requirements, you can begin preparing for the arrival of the ICM equipment. You 
need to prepare each site that is to contain ICM equipment. The sites must have 
adequate power facilities, security, and space for equipment layout.

Be sure to consider the following site preparation tasks:

Meet basic site requirements. Prepare for the arrival of equipment; provide 
a secure staging area; ensure that sites are ready for occupancy; order and 
assemble equipment racks.

Design a floor plan for each site. Consider operator workspace, cabling 
distribution, and maintenance access to ICM nodes.

Meet the power and environmental requirements at each site. Review the 
PC hardware documentation for specifics on power and environmental 
requirements.

Provide adequate security for the ICM system. Allow only authorized 
access to the ICM system and any backed-up data.

Determine additional cabling or other equipment required. You may need 
equipment such as rack-mounting hardware or an uninterruptible power 
supply (UPS).

Order any additional cabling or equipment. Order any additional 
equipment in time for the arrival of the ICM system components.
