# Data Center Documentation

> On-site rack elevation, cable, and labeling documentation for data centers in Michigan. Clean, accurate, photo-backed documentation your team can actually use.

Documentation that matches what's actually in the rack.

We send technicians on site to physically trace, photograph, and document your racks, cabling, and labeling — and hand you back clean rack elevation diagrams, cable schedules, and labeling that actually matches reality, not what a spreadsheet says should be there.

## When you need this

- Your as-built documentation hasn't kept up with years of moves, adds, and changes.
- You inherited a facility or rack row with no documentation at all.
- A commissioning or turnover milestone requires verified, accurate documentation.
- Your DCIM software is only as good as the data someone physically walks the floor to collect — and no one has time to do that.

## What's included

### Rack elevation diagrams

Accurate, current rack elevations showing exactly what's installed, front and rear, down to rack unit position.

### Cable tracing & identification

Physical tracing of individual cable runs to confirm source and destination, correcting mislabeled or undocumented runs.

### Cable schedules & labeling

Consistent labeling standards applied on site, with a corresponding cable schedule delivered as an editable file.

### Photo documentation

High-resolution photos of every rack, panel, and cable path, organized and delivered with the final documentation set.

### Power & circuit mapping

Documentation of PDU circuits and power paths tied to the equipment they feed.

### Deliverables in your format

Visio, Excel/CSV, PDF, or direct input into your DCIM platform — we deliver documentation in the format your team actually uses.

## How it works

1. **Define scope** — We agree on which racks, rows, or the whole facility, and what level of detail you need (elevations only, full cable tracing, or both).
2. **On-site data collection** — A technician physically walks the floor, photographing and tracing as needed — with minimal disruption to live equipment.
3. **Documentation build-out** — Raw field data is turned into clean elevation diagrams, cable schedules, and labeling records.
4. **Delivery & review** — You receive the full documentation package and a walkthrough of anything that didn't match expectations.

## Who this is for

- Data center operators with outdated or missing as-built documentation
- Commissioning teams needing verified documentation at turnover
- Colocation tenants taking over a rack or suite from a previous tenant
- General contractors needing technology punch-list documentation before project close-out

## Frequently asked questions

### How is this different from DCIM software?

DCIM software is only as accurate as the data entered into it — and someone still has to physically walk the floor to collect that data. We're the field labor that produces accurate, current documentation, which you can then load into whatever DCIM platform (or spreadsheet) you're already using.

### Do you need to power anything down to document it?

No. Documentation work is non-invasive — we trace, photograph, and record what's already running without disrupting live equipment.

### Can you set up a recurring documentation refresh?

Yes. A lot of facilities fall behind because documentation is a project, not a habit. We offer quarterly or annual refresh visits to keep your documentation matched to reality as equipment changes.
