1️⃣ Build Phase – Pre-Installation Activities: ✅ Verify & Validate the Bill of Materials (active & passive components). ✅ Receive and Inspect network equipment (switches, APs, controllers, firewalls). ✅ Rack and Stack devices in designated positions as per the layout plan. ✅ Cable Management: Identify and label network cables for installation. ✅ Power Setup: Verify available PDU sockets and install redundant power sources if required. ✅ Provide Console Access for Infosys remote engineers to configure the devices. 2️⃣ Cutover Phase – Installation & Migration Activities: ✅ Physically replace & install network devices, including: • Switches (Core, Distribution, and Access Switches) • Wireless Access Points (Ceiling/Wall Mounted) • Gateway Controllers • Firewalls ✅ Cable Patching: • Perform inter-rack & intra-rack patching with copper and fiber cables. • Ensure neat dressing and labeling of cables inside the racks. ✅ Swapping Connections: Migrate endpoint connections from old to new switches. ✅ Testing: Conduct power-on and connectivity tests for all installed devices. ✅ User Acceptance Testing (UAT): Work with on-site contacts to verify device functionality. ✅ Document Installation & Spare Materials: Submit a list of installed devices and leftover materials. ✅ Take Before & After Photos of racks, patch panels, and cabling. Engineer Requirements & Preparation: ✔ Carry Laptop with console cable, installed software (Putty, Webex, Teams). ✔ Personal Safety Gear: Helmet, safety shoes, reflective jacket, gloves(if required) ✔ Tools Required: Screwdrivers, cable testers, label printer, anti-static mat. ✔ Health & Safety Compliance (site-specific certifications if needed). ✔ Coordinate with Infosys /Siemens SME for remote configuration and guidance. ✔ Internet Connectivity: Use mobile hotspot for remote access (client network cannot be used).
