If purchasing new equipment, the questions below should be reviewed to determine whether a service request is needed.

If you are replacing in kind equipment the power, water, and specialty gasses (if needed) are most likely in place and will not need a service request. The following questions should be reviewed to determine whether a service request is needed.

Review the size of the equipment and how the equipment will be delivered to the building tracing the route to the room where the equipment will be used. Be sure the equipment can fit through all doorways, hallways, and be transported safely through the building. If you are unsure or do not think the equipment will fit, Create a Request for service in the FAMIS360 application in Okta. 

Review the power requirements for the equipment and check the power available in the room where the equipment will be used. If you are unsure or do not think the room has the adequate power required for the equipment, Create a Request for service in the FAMIS360 application in Okta.

Review the specifications of the equipment for ventilation requirements and temperature outputs. If you are unsure of the impact the equipment will have on the HVAC or you know that assistance will be needed, Create a Request for service in the FAMIS360 application in Okta so FPM may evaluate the equipment specifications and the room.

Review the specifications of the equipment for input and output requirements and check the connections available in the room where the equipment will be used. If you are unsure that the input or output requirements can be met or do not think they can currently be met, Create a Request for service in the FAMIS360 application in Okta so FPM may evaluate the equipment specifications and the room.
