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.
