The following activities are the responsibility of the customer:

  • Unboxing the rack.

  • Placing the rack in the data center.

  • Connecting power to the rack.

  • Connecting the rack to the customer’s network.

  • Performing a green light check, to ensure that hardware is operational prior to the onsite deployment engagement.
