During the site planning and preparation processes, work closely with your facilities group or contractor to determine space, power, and environmental requirements. 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 the system is covered by a service agreement and you need help with site planning, contact your authorized Stratus service representative. If you have a contract with 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.
