108. Why it is important to do Installation planning, rather than just asking the customer as you
work through the installation process? (Select three)
(0/1) Points
Customer technical contact may not be readily available
Support Services will not engage on services requests if no installation planning was done

access routes to the installation location, such as doors, elevators, floor strengths and ramps
117. For safety awareness with respect to grounding, if a system has been modified after the
manufacturer's assembly process, what three recommendations does the EIS Grounding Standard
make?
(0/1) Points
If the temperature is below 60 degrees F., warm the room first before power ON
If qualified personnel did not test the safety of the modified system then proper testing should be
requested before Oracle and/or partner personnel will work on the equipment

If modifications involved any power supplies, distribution units or wiring, did qualified
personnel verify that the modification was was correct and did they test the system to ensure that
it doesn't pose any safety hazard?
Check whether the modification involved any power supplies, distribution units or wiring?
118. When should you review deliverables and why?

(0/1) Points
Ideally EIS deliverables would be reviewed at the very start of an installation project, as they
clearly define scope, roles and responsibilities, and project deliverables
EIS deliverables are used as a last step in the installation process to ensure the installer provided
everything that is required
EIS deliverables are included in the Oracle system shipping and packaging documents near the
start of an installation
EIS deliverables are an interim checklist to ensure that at the mid-way point of an installation the
project remains on track.
119. Why should you use the EIS methodology to guide your installation process?
(1/1) Points
Installation processes are very lengthy, the EIS methodology is quick and dirty
The EIS methodology provides a 20% discount on Support Services if you install your
customers’ hardware or software using it

work through the installation process? (Select three)
(0/1) Points
Customer technical contact may not be readily available
Pricing for Installation Services is less expensive if planning in not included
Planning leads to more thoughtful consideration for a predictable outcome of the installation
process
Continuing interruptions can detract from the professionalism of your work, and lead to customer

themselves
EIS installation checklists are intended to guide the installer through the installation in a logical
and consistent manner
Checklists are publicly available on oracle.com

installation project timeline
It is actually not relevant or important
Variations in temperature do not have as big an impact as do Service contract considerations for
how long an installation will take
Variations in temperature should not exceed the approved gradient of approximately 2° C (4° F)
per hour, because ignoring this may could lead to long-term damage (hair-cracks) on the boards

accomplished? Choose all responses that apply.
(0/1) Points
Additional tests can be inserted into the Test Procedures plan
Testing above and beyond the Covered System Tests are at the sole discretion of Oracle and/or
the Partner installer
Oracle is automatically responsible for any non-standard installation procedure, regardless of
whether they were agree to as part of the Installation and Configuration Plan
Not all installation actions need testing

installation
Correct!
121. For safety awareness with respect to grounding, if a system has been modified after the
manufacturer's assembly process, what three recommendations does the EIS Grounding Standard
make?
(1/1) Points
If the temperature is below 60 degrees F., warm the room first before power ON
If modifications involved any power supplies, distribution units or wiring, did qualified
personnel verify that the modification was was correct and did they test the system to ensure that
it doesn't pose any safety hazard?
If qualified personnel did not test the safety of the modified system then proper testing should be
requested before Oracle and/or partner personnel will work on the equipment
Determine whether the local electrician can support the installation process
Check whether the modification involved any power supplies, distribution units or wiring?
Correct!
122. Why do the EIS Standards recommend that external cables between Oracle hardware, such
as servers, storage devices, network devices and ports be clearly labeled?
(1/1) Points
Cable routing should be done with rubber bands for ease of reconfiguration
For ease of maintenance it should be unambiguously clear from the label on each cable, where
the cable has to be attached
Labeling is not an EIS best practice
Service requests for field diagnostics will not be accepted unless cables are labeled
Correct!
123. What if the customer has their own labeling methodology that differs from the
recommended one from EIS?
(1/1) Points
Follow the customer's standard for cable labeling provided it meets with EIS requirements for
identification and port location.
Ignore the customer’s standard and use the EIS standard
Redo cabling throughout the datacenter to meet the EIS standard
Submit a Service Request for Oracle approval on use of the customer labeling and routing
methods
Correct!
