Are the electrical circuits suitable in terms of voltage and current-carrying capacities?

Does the power frequency meet the equipment specifications?

Are power outlets available for the new equipment at the designated location?

Will system power be delivered from two separate grids?

Is there a UPS to power the equipment?

Are the minimum required power sources available to support the power load (kW or kVA) for the new hardware?

Does the computer room air conditioning meet temperature and humidity requirements?

Does the installation floor layout satisfy the ventilation requirements?

If the room cooling is from a raised floor:

• Are the perforated floor tiles each rated at 400 CFM or greater?

Is contact information for the data center personnel available?

Is there security or access control for the data center?

Are there any security background checks or security clearances required for Oracle personnel to access the data center?

If yes, then provide the process for Oracle to follow.

How many days in advance must background checks be completed?

Are there any additional security access issues?

Is computer room access available for installation personnel?

Package removal should take place outside the data center room.

Is there storage space (cabinet) for the ride along spares?

If not, does the customer allow cardboard boxes and other packing material in the computer room, since the spares are packed in cardboard boxes?
