the Cisco 5508 wireless controller. Exact installation placements of these new switches may change, but currently expected to be installed in the building MDF to connect to the current CoSB network equipment, and below the stage in the location of the existing AT&T router and switch. The cable paths and lengths may determine where the switches should be installed. *NOTE:- Network Racks, and,Cabling,between;MDF/I.DF may need tab required*. Infrastructure Physical Layer Requirements The Physical Layer involves all aspects of grounding, wiring, terminations, and telecommunication services for this project. The requirements in this sections include: racking equipment; provisioning power, directing airflow, and provisioning infrastructure wiring and cables. NSI has reviewed the physical layer requirements for this project. The following responsibilities for the Physical Layer are required for a successful implementation: City of .South Bend Physical Responsibilities: • Device Preparation a Capture Existing Device Configurations - Having a snapshot of the existing network is necessary for preparing configurations for the new devices and is recommended to ensure fallback capability in the event an error occurs as part of the installation. City of South Bend is responsible for gathering the running configuration from the devices scheduled for replacement and providing them to NSI. o Identify and Review Unique Parts - Unique ports are all ports that fall outside of a standard configuration. These include uplink ports, special VLAN ports, special speed/duplex ports, and other defining features identified in the configuration. NSI will identify unique ports from the provided running configurations and create a 'Port -Mapping' Spreadsheet. City of South Bend is responsible for reviewing and approving the provided spreadsheet. o Label Unique Ports - City of South Bend is responsible for labeling each unique port identified by NSI in the'Port-Mapping' spreadsheet. Every unique port will need to be physically labeled indicating the new port it will be plugged into. • Site Preparation o Storage and Staging Area -- City of South Bend is responsible for designating a location for all ordered equipment to be delivered to. This location should provide a temperate area for storage and staging of equipment. o Equipment Racks - The existing racks will be used for this installation. City of South Bend is responsible for providing adequate power, cooling, and rack space for the new equipment. Physical specifications for each piece of hardware being deployed are available in the Appendices section. o Airflow- Each device is designed to move air through it in a specific pattern. Devices should be placed in such a manner that air flows from a 'cold' aisle (intake) to a hot" aisle (exhaust). City of South Bend is responsible for ensuring space is clear around the devices and allows for proper ventilation. o Power- The equipment will be deployed with the power cables and connector types as specified in the quote. City of South Bend is responsible for providing the proper PDUs or receptacles for powering all equipment. o Transceivers and Twinax - NSI is providing only the transceivers and twinax as specified in the quote. The provided hardware accounts for requested connections based upon the information provided by City of South Bend during the design. If the transceiver counts change following project acceptance, a change order can be submitted to create a quote for the required additions. **All 10Gbps SR optics must utilize OM3 or OM4 fiber for transport in-between closets. If OM1 fiber is still part of the infrastructure LRM optics must be specified for 10Gbps transport. o Patch Cables - City of South Bend is responsible for providing all patch cables, either fiber or copper, except those specified on the quote. If the patch cable counts or requirements change following project acceptance, a change order will include a request for additional patch cables. o Access - City of South Bend is responsible for ensuring timely access to the equipment installation area. Installation delays caused by access restrictions may be billable on a per occasion instance. www.nsil.com WHY we do is as important as 'CHAT we do (574) 271-0900 Page:19 of 25
