“Safety Notices” on page 1-11
Site Planning Overview
Site planning for fault-tolerant systems includes:
Purchasing an appropriate cabinet and monitor
If you do not purchase a monitor from Stratus, provide a monitor that meets the
system’s requirements.
NOTES
1. A monitor, keyboard, and mouse are required to
install ftServer System Software (ftSSS).
2. After you install VMware ESX™and ftSSS, the
monitor’s VGA port is not fault-tolerant. Therefore,
plan to provide a management PC to which you can
connect the system over a serial connection.
If you do not purchase a cabinet from Stratus, provide a cabinet that meets the
system’s requirements.

Site Planning Overview
1-2 Stratus ftServer 2510, 4410, and 6210 Systems: Site Planning Guide (R627)
Electrical power planning
Provide electrical power sources that meet the requirements of the system and
optional components, optionally including the purchase of a qualified
uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
Space planning
Provide adequate space for the system or cabinet and for a desk or table to
accommodate components outside a cabinet. Also provide enough space for
servicing the systems and components.
Provide an environment that meets the system's requirements for ambient
temperature and air quality.
Communications line planning
Provide sufficient network and analog telephone lines and plan the location of the
system and external components to accommodate the lengths of the connecting
cables.
For ftServer systems running VMware ESX, provide a computer to act as a
managementPC.Also provideaserialcabletoconnectthe managementPCtothe
ftServer system, or provide some other way to connect to the ftServer system
through a serial connection. After you install the operating system and ftSSS, at
times, you may be unable to use the monitor, mouse, and keyboard directly
attached to the system.
Rack space planning
Ensure that the power distribution units (PDUs) supply sufficient power to the
components you have purchased and that you have sufficient space available in
an appropriate cabinet.
Use the “Site Planning Checklist” on page 1-4 to track your site preparation progress.
For information about obtaining documents related to your ftServer system, see
“System Documentation” on page 1-7.
During the site planning and preparation processes, work closely with your facilities
grouporcontractortodeterminespace,power,and environmentalrequirements.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 aservice agreement and you need help with site planning,
contact the Stratus Customer Assistance Center (CAC) or your authorized Stratus
service representative. If you have a contract with the CAC or your authorized Stratus
service representative to install the system, contact them after you have prepared the

installation site and moved the system to the site. For more information about the CAC,
see Getting Help in the Preface or the http://www.stratus.com/support/cac/ Web site.
See Appendix A, “System Specifications” for the specifications of the base ftServer
systems and of PDUs. See the Stratus ftServer Systems: Peripherals Site
Planning Guide (R582) for specifications of other components.
Site Planning for Fault-Tolerant Systems
Consider the following specific fault-tolerant features of ftServer systems for site
planning:
Lockstep technology means that the systems contain redundant hardware. The
systemscontaintwoenclosures,eachcontainingafull computingenvironmentthat
consists of a CPU element and an I/O element.
If a component in a CPU element malfunctions, the corresponding 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. The 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.
ftServer systems can connect to the ActiveService Network (ASN).
Connectinga system to theASNallowsthe CAC oryour authorizedStratusservice
representative to remotely diagnose, troubleshoot, and resolve problems online.
To enable connectivity to the ASN, an ASN modem can be attached directly to the
system. In Windows and Linux systems, two partnered Virtual Technician Modules
(VTMs),ifinstalledin thesystem, managethe modem.TheVTMs canalso connect
to the ASN through their Ethernet ports, if the network to which they are attached
has Internet access. Systems without modems or VTMs can connect to the ASN
through an Internet connection.
NOTE
ftSSS for VMware vSphere does not support VTMs.
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 administrators to remotely service the
system over a telephone line or IP network, regardless of the state of the operating
system.

Site Planning Checklist
1-4 Stratus ftServer 2510, 4410, and 6210 Systems: Site Planning Guide (R627)
If VTMs are not present, system software manages the modems and ASN
connectivity is only possible if the operating system is operational.
Site Planning Checklist
Referring to the information in this document, answer the following questions:
Planning for ASN Connectivity
❏Will your system connect to the ASN? If so, will it connect over an ASN modem or
the Internet?
❏If your system will use the Internet to connect to the ASN, do you have an Internet
connection available?
❏If your system will use an ASN modem, do you have an external analog telephone
line available for the ASN modem?
NOTE
Adedicatedphoneline provides themost reliable service.
ASN calls routed through a PBX may be slow due to load
on the PBX, or may not complete successfully 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.
❏Doyou havean additionaltelephoneconnectionandtelephoneneartheoperator’s
station for voice communications when calling for support?
Planning for Network Connectivity
❏The system contains four embedded 10/100/1000 megabits-per-second (Mbps)
Ethernet ports. You can add optional Ethernet PCI adapters to provide additional
Ethernet bandwidth. Will your system additionally include any of the following PCI
adapters? If so, in Table 1-1, indicate the total number of ports, and plan network
connections for all Ethernet ports you will use.
NOTE
The four embedded physical adapters provide the basic
requirements for VMware ESX: two adapters are

dedicated for the service console and two may be
dedicated for the virtual machines or VMkernel traffic,
depending on your requirements.
Planning for External Storage Options
❏Will your system connect to external Fibre Channel storage enclosures? If so, the
system requires a pair of Fibre ChannelHBAs, which are provided when you order
the storage enclosure. If you order the enclosure at the same time you order the
system, the required Fibre Channel HBAs are installed at the factory. See the
Stratus ftServer Systems: Peripherals Site Planning Guide (R582) for descriptions
of the storage enclosures provided by Stratus and the names of the PCI adapters
required for supported storage enclosures.
NOTES
1. An ftServer system that runs the Linux operating
system supports ftScalable™ Storage systems,
EMC®CLARiiON®or Symmetrix®storage systems,
and HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Arrays
(EVAs).
2. An ftServer system that runs the Windows operating
system or VMware ESX software supports
ftScalable Storage systems and EMC CLARiiON and
Symmetrix storage systems.
❏Willyour systemconnecttoexternal FibreChannel storageenclosures ina storage
area network (SAN) configuration? If so, do you have a minimum of two switches
that can accommodate the cables from the pair of Fibre Channel HBAs in each
ftServer system?
NOTE
Stratus has successfully tested the Brocade®200E and
5100FibreChannelswitches.Otherswitchesmayalsobe
compatible as long as they can be configured in the same
manner as the Brocade 200E or 5100 switch.
❏Will your ftServer system running VMware ESX connect to external iSCSI storage
enclosures? If so, ensure that your system has adequate Ethernet adapter
bandwidth. Contact your account representative for information about qualifying
iSCSI storage systems for use with ftServer systems.
Planning for Optional Components
❏Will you supply your own monitor or will Stratus supply the monitor, keyboard, and
mouse? Is the monitor rack-mountable or do you need to provide a table or desk?

Site Planning Checklist
1-6 Stratus ftServer 2510, 4410, and 6210 Systems: Site Planning Guide (R627)
❏Will your Windows or Linux system include any tape-drive enclosures? The
tape-drive enclosure supplied with your system is rack-mountable. If you order the
tape drive at the same time you order the system, the required PCI adapter is
installed in the system. See the Stratus ftServer Systems: Peripherals Site
Planning Guide (R582) for descriptions of the enclosures and the names of the
required PCI adapters.
NOTE
ftSSS for VMware vSphere does not support tape drives.
Planning AC Power
❏Will you provide power to both sides of the system through a pair of PDUs?
❏Will you protect the system power with a UPS?
❏What optional components will you use?
❏What are the AC power requirements of your system, including all optional
components?
❏What are the lengths and types of the power cords that are provided for the PDUs
or system, and optional components?
❏What type of AC receptacles do you need to provide?
❏Is the AC power service wired properly?
Planning Space for Your System
❏Will your system and its external components fit where you plan to place them?
❏If you are rack-mounting the system, what is the height of the cabinet you will use
and what is the total height of the systems and components that will be installed in
the cabinet? Will the items fit into the cabinet? What components will be located
outside the cabinet?
❏What are the lengths and types of the interface and communications cables that
will connect to your system?
❏Haveyoucreated a sketch of howyouplan to arrangethe system at the installation
site? Consider the available cable lengths, the placement of external devices, and
the location of network and voice communication connections.
