The EA C3 credit form require us to upload system manual.
The project I am working is a large clean room project. The capacity of the HVAC system is huge and so are the system manuals. My office did receive whole system manual in PDF files and these files size are more than 500 Mega.
Shall I follow the instruction on credit and upload whole system manual, or just upload the content and a message to explain the status? Or any good ideas?

Our policy is to submit the whole Cx Report and Systems Manual, but while we have had large files, nothing as large at you mention. Large parts of a Systems Manual can be manufacturers information or repetative. You might try including some information for each heading in the manual, then indicate that some content has been deleted to conserve size.
At most, they might ask a question, but I would not expect an immediate rejection. On projects where we have been commissioned, we have seen much less submitted and accepted, but don't feel that is good practice.
