Sample Site Log and Preinstallation Task Checklist
The Site Log provides a record of all actions related to installing and maintaining the Cisco Security Packet Analyzer 2400 series appliance. Keep the log in an accessible place near the appliance chassis so that anyone who performs tasks has access to it. Site Log entries might include the following:
- Installation progress—Make a copy of the appliance Installation Checklist (see Sample Preinstallation Task Checklist), and insert it into the Site Log (see Sample Site Log). Make entries as you complete each task.
- Upgrade, removal, and maintenance procedures—Use the Site Log as a record of ongoing appliance maintenance and expansion history. Each time a task is performed on the appliance, update the Site Log to reflect the following information:
– Installation of new adapter cards
– Removal or replacement of adapter cards and other upgrades
– Configuration changes
– Maintenance schedules and requirements
– Maintenance procedures performed
– Intermittent problems
– Comments and notes

3. Evaluate potential hazards that might affect service.
4. Schedule time for installation.
5. Determine any space requirements.
6. Determine any power requirements.
7. Identify any required procedures or tests.
8. On an equipment plan, make a preliminary decision that locates each Cisco Security Packet Analyzer 2400 series appliance that you plan to install.
9. Read this hardware installation guide.
10. Verify the list of replaceable parts for installation (screws, bolts, washers, and so on) so that the parts are identified.
11. Check the required tools list to make sure the necessary tools and test equipment are available.
12. Perform the installation.
