Sounds familiar

The last install was done fast and now nobody trusts the labels.
You need a rack plan before the delivery, not after.

Questions

How far ahead should we book?

Typically five or more business days, so the facility can confirm dock access and inductions. Evening and weekend windows are possible.

Do you configure the network?

No. We rack, cable and connect the console; your team pushes the configuration. Change ownership stays with you.
