• /cm/shared: 3.5TB. This will be a shared directory, which is used by default by Bright Cluster Manager to install applications and libraries on.
Compute Nodes configuration:

Default Compute Image setup based on CentOS 7.2

Bios Settings:
- Boot PXE Boot first (LAN1)
- Boot Local disk second
- Hyper-threading [On]
- Turbo [On]

PDUs:
- Provided by RFD
Required for solution:
- Headnode (with 2x PSU), x1: 2
- Compute Servers (each with 2x PSU), x1: 2
- Network switch 1Gbe (each with 1x PSU), x1: 1
- Network switch Mellanox (each with 2x PSU), x1: 2

14 Customer Acceptance

BOSTON LTD cannot take ownership of certain tasks of the installation owing to the nature of those tasks. These tasks remain the responsibility of our Client.

The Client undertakes to ensure the following:

(Consulting engineer to indicate where applicable)
 Access is available to all required locations at agreed times.
 All cabling and network infrastructure is complete prior to installation, including provision of patch and fly leads where appropriate.
 Cabinets are large enough to accommodate all new equipment i.e. rack mount servers, hubs, switches etc.
 The ‘Client’ is responsible for all power requirements including: meeting regulatory bodies, ensuring correct quantities of power outlets and any other “power” related issues that may arise. (Mandatory).

“I accept that the above tasks, as indicated, are the responsibility of the customer and undertake to ensure they are completed prior to the scheduled installation date(s). I accept that additional installation time caused by non-compliance of the above may be chargeable to the Customer. Further, I fully understand and agree to the contents of this Scope of Work document.”

 WARNING. - YOU ARE STRONGLY ADVISED NOT TO IGNORE THIS

During the installation period (i.e. any period prior to sign-off by your authorised representative) BOSTON LTD will be testing and re-installing software onto your PCs and/or server. We recommend that you make several backups of your data prior to our installation/upgrade. You are therefore strongly advised not to transfer or store any of your data onto these BOSTON LTD systems until installation is complete. BOSTON LTD will not accept any responsibility for any loss of your data, however caused, during the installation period.

I ______________________________ (Authorised Representative)
for _____________________________ (Customer Organisation)
have read and fully understand the statement above. Furthermore, I accept that BOSTON LTD cannot be held responsible for any data loss occurring during the installation period.

Special Note on Network Upgrades and Migration:

Extra care needs to be taken when data is transferred during an upgrade or migration. You will need to prepare the data for transfer as BOSTON LTD cannot do this for you. This data will then be transferred if included in the Scope of Work, agreed between both parties.

• However, due to software copying limitations, it is impossible to guarantee the copy of the data will be identical to the original. You should therefore dedicate ICT time and resources to check that the data copy has worked correctly, and restore any missing files from your backup. The BOSTON LTD Engineer will not be able to do this for you.
