Chapter 2: Pre-Deployment Planning

Prepare Infrastructure
Planning for the installation of your CC-SG and Raritan devices is very
much like the planning for any other new systems in your datacenter.
HVAC, power, physical access and mounting, network, cabling, and
remote access must be considered.
• Heating and Cooling. It is essential to have adequate heating and
cooling so that the equipment can operate in the temperature and
humidity ranges for which it has been designed. Please refer to the
specific product User Guide for additional information.
• Power Supplies. Raritan products have auto-ranging power
supplies so they can function in most datacenter environments.
Some products have dual power supplies for power redundancy
such as CC-SG.
• Serial Device Connectivity. Uses either a straight through Ethernet
cable or a crossover cable. Sun and Cisco serial interfaces typically
use a crossover cable that connects directly to an RJ45 port. Other
serial targets typically use a standard Ethernet cable attached to a
DB9 or DB25 serial connector.
• Cabling Requirements. Depends on the specific products deployed
as well as datacenter distances and structured cabling design.
Cables should be tested and within distance limitation guidelines for
each device. IP-Reach, Dominion KSX, and Dominion KX101
devices should use Raritan-supplied KVM cabling.
• LAN Ports. All Raritan devices covered in this guide have an
auto-sensing 10/100 Base-T network port for attachment to your
LAN. Some devices, including CC-SG, have dual-LAN ports for
redundancy. Some Raritan devices also have gigabit Ethernet.
• Remote Access for Raritan Devices. External remote access for
some devices, in an emergency situation, can be accommodated via
modem. Appropriate phone lines and modems should be obtained
prior to installation.
• Rack Mounts. Most Raritan devices include rack mounts for
installation into datacenter cabinets and racks. Some devices, such
as the Dominion SX4 and SX8, have optional rack-mount kits
available. Please refer to the specific product User Guide or
Deployment Guide for additional information.
