Site Preparation

Introduction

This chapter provides the information necessary to prepare a site to NCR specifications prior to installing an NCR display. Prepare the site properly before installing the display because site preparation deficiencies may be difficult to detect and correct after installation.

This is a contractual document. It contains important warnings and confers important legal rights and obligations. You are advised to read it carefully.

It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that all installation preparations are complete and in compliance with NCR specifications and requirements and all applicable national, state, or local codes, regulations, and laws.

About this Chapter

This chapter provides site preparation information for NCR X-Series Displays (5968/5985) components. This chapter does NOT provide Peripheral component and AC wiring site preparation information.

This chapter contains the information necessary for the preparation of a site conforming to the NCR specifications. It is very important that the site complies with the requirements specified in the document because, once the equipment has been installed, deficiencies in site preparation or the problems caused by these deficiencies are much more difficult to detect and correct. Further, failure to comply with these requirements or to take proper steps to protect equipment against risks identified in this document may cause serious damage to the equipment and to the customer's business.

In addition to the need to comply with the requirements specified, electrical wiring and mechanical systems must also comply with all relevant codes, laws, and regulations.

It is important that a customer or his agent who is fully conversant with the special requirements of electronic equipment prepare the site. The responsibility of ensuring that the site is prepared in compliance with this document remains with the customer.

For information and guidance purposes only, a list is provided, in general terms, of those matters for which the customer is responsible. This list does not intend to be comprehensive, and in no way modifies, alters, or limits the responsibility of the customer for all aspects of adequate site preparation.

NCR staff is available to answer questions relating to the contents of this document except where:

•a customer has been notified that a full or partial consultancy service is available and/or that NCR is willing to undertake a preliminary or final site survey, and

•the customer shall have entered into a formal contract with NCR for provision of the same.

No comment, suggestion, or advice offered or not offered about preparation of the site nor any inspection of the site whether before or after preparation is to be taken as approval of the location of the site and equipment or its preparation and NCR is not liable in respect of any comment, suggestion, or advice given by its staff or in respect to any failure to give advice.

Finally, only the customer can know the full extent of damage, which may be caused to his business because of failure of the equipment that is to be installed. For this reason, it is the customer's responsibility to ascertain the extent of any possible damage to his existing or planned business, and to effect full insurance in respect of it.
