    The key takeaways are that this document outlines procedures for tracking, locating, receiving, storing, and handling end-of-life equipment in the data center.

    Equipment is tracked and located in the data center using a grid system and spreadsheet to assign unique locations to each device.

    New equipment is received by authorized personnel, documented, and either stored securely or installed based on readiness. Temporary storage is in a secure basement cage if not claimed immediately.

    Section I – GENERAL

    A. Purpose:
    Data Center and NOC hardware management will be achieved by utilizing our
    database located in Altiris to inventory, and track ownership, and location of
    equipment. This effort will be a solitary way of verifying equipment, notifying
    owners, and determining equipment destinations.

    B. Implementation:
    • A grid numbered 1 - 50 and A – U will be placed on the wall at ceiling level to
    create a grid for locating exact positions/locations of equipment in the Data
    Center. This grid along with the inventory diagram will enable quick and efficient
    locating of all equipment.

    • These grid markings will be implanted by preprinted tags that will be hanging
    from the ceiling tile frame.

    • Each device should be rack mounted (please refer to the Rack and Stack SOP)
    and the associated Grid location will also note the Rack location.

    • Each device in the data center will be labeled with the Device Name and IP
    address in a conspicuous place that can be easily seen when accessed. These
    labels are also placed in an area on the equipment that will not restrict air flow in
    any way

    • All devices will be properly cabled – See Cable Management SOP.

    C. Equipment Storage

    • Upon arrival, equipment will be documented, signed for and accepted by


    authorized NOC personnel. We will determine at that point who the owner of said
    equipment is.

    • Equipment that is not ready to be installed that has arrived onsite will be stored
    in a secure location in a secure cage in the basement of Head Quarters.

    • Equipment that is ready for installation will be installed in a pre-designated


    location. This equipment will be installed in a neat and organized fashion.

    • A meeting and agreement between the equipment owner and NOC personnel
    will preside to determine any special needs for equipment and location of said
    equipment to racked and staked.
