NOTE Not all installations follow a schedule like the one noted above. Sometimes, HP Servers are

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.
