• Purchasing an appropriate cabinet and monitor If you do not purchase a monitor from NEC Corporation of America, provide a monitor that meets the system’s requirements. If you do not purchase the cabinet that NEC Corporation of America references, provide a cabinet that meets the system’s requirements.
If your system is covered by a service agreement 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 prepared the installation site and moved the system to the site.
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. Welcome to Site Planning for Express5800/320Fc systems...
Copper Gigabit Ethernet Adapters 1000 Base T 1000 Base T-SX Will you supply your own monitor or will NEC Corporation of America supply the monitor? N O T E Use the USB keyboard and mouse provided by NEC Corporation of America.
Have you reviewed and discussed the requirements with the facilities personnel and contractors to ensure that all site modifications are understood and implemented? If you have any questions about the number and types of components, contact your Express5800/320Fc account executive or distributor. Welcome to Site Planning for Express5800/320Fc systems...

Chapter 5, “UPS Planning” Redundant Power Sources Express5800/320Fc 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.
