Racks chosen, then installed.
What to ask every vendor.
What to specify for installing chosen infrastructure, from survey to handover, how it recovers from each failure, and how to test it.

Who it is for.
For the head of infrastructure who has chosen a platform and now has to get it into two rooms, onto the network and under load without an outage the business notices, and hand operations a record they can run from. Sized for 28 servers, 4 top-of-rack switches and 4 racks into existing rooms, 250 virtual machines migrated in a six-hour Saturday window.
What is in, what is out.
In: site survey; receipt; staging and integration; rack-and-stack; cabling and its test; configuration from a source of truth; cutover and migration; decommissioning and media sanitization; handover and hypercare. Out: choosing the platform, facility construction, the design being installed, and operations after hypercare.
