NOTE
Not all installations follow a schedule like the one noted above. Sometimes, an hp server is
purchased through another vendor which can preclude a rigid schedule. Other conditions could
also prevent following this schedule. For those situations, consider a milestone schedule.
•
Site Preparation - schedule with the customer as soon as possible after the order is placed.
•
Site Verification - schedule with the customer a minimum of one to two days before the hp
server is scheduled to be installed.
