Exadata X9M TOI - Hardware Overview Assessment

(Answer all questions in this section)
56. What is the primary reason the X9M racks now use standard-length 3 meter
cables, versus the mixed-length cables on previous platforms?
The extra cable length is required to attach to the neighboring rack.
Higher power draw of X9 servers required more flexibility in PDU group balancing,
resulting in the need to increase from 2M to 3M.
Because having extra slack of power cables, in the side-panels and rear of the
cabinet, is attractive.

24. Why is the rate of temperature change when acclimatizing systems such an
important factor as described in the EIS methodology?
It is actually not relevant or important
Systems should be warmed up and powered ON as quickly as possible to optimize
the installation project timeline
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
Variations in temperature do not have as big an impact as do Service contract

13. Why should you typically complete the Installation Configuration Plan and
create your Test Procedures Plan at the same time?
You should create the Test Procedures Plan after you have completed the system
installation and configuration.
As you work through the system configuration process with your customer, you
should state how you will test key items in the system’s configuration for having
been successfully completed.
Test Procedures plan is a standard document used in all generic system
installations.

14. When should the Site-Audit be performed?
As soon as the product has been delivered to the customer
As soon as possible, and certainly prior to delivery of the system
After the system has been acclimatized and is ready for unpacking at the customer
site
Prior to the completion of the sale, in order to ensure that the customer’s location
is viable

15. Why do the EIS Standards recommend that external cables between Oracle
hardware, such as servers, storage devices, network devices and ports be clearly
labeled?
Service requests for field diagnostics will not be accepted unless cables are labeled

Labeling is not an EIS best practice

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

8. Why should you use the EIS methodology to guide your installation process?
Larry Ellison has mandated using EIS
The EIS methodology provides a 20% discount on Support Services if you install
your customers’ hardware or software using it
Installation processes are very lengthy, the EIS methodology is quick and dirty
Using the proven EIS methodology will provide step-by-step installation guidelines,
help guarantee a quality installation, make your life easier, and ensure customer
satisfaction

2. What are two cautions that should be acknowledged when acclimatizing a
system?
(Choose all correct answers)
Powering ON the system will speed the acclimatization process as the heat from
the system will accelerate its warming
Once powered on the temperature is no longer an issue, as internal cooling
systems commence
The maximum positive or negative temperature gradient that is permitted for
multi-layer boards is approximately 2° C (4° F) per hour.
Avoid unpacking items inside the computer centre (dust/dirt contaminating filters
etc.)
