Installation Checklist
To assist you with your installation and to provide a historical record of what was done, and by whom,
use the following Installation Checklist. Make a copy of this checklist and mark the entries as you
complete each task. When the checklist is completed, include a copy of the checklist for each
Cisco ADE 2130 and 2140 Series appliance in your Site Log (see the “Creating a Site Log” section on
page 2-15 for information about creating a Site Log) along with other records for your new appliance.
Creating a Site Log
The Site Log (see Appendix B, “Site Log,” for a sample Site Log) provides a record of all actions related
to installing and maintaining the Cisco ADE 2130 and 2140 Series appliance. Keep the log in an
accessible place near the appliance so that anyone who performs tasks has access to it. Use the
Installation Checklist (see the previous section, “Installation Checklist”) to verify the steps in the
installation and maintenance of your appliance. Site Log entries might include the following:
