Planning checklists identify common tasks that you should plan for before the arrival and installation of your server.
Use the following checklist to guide and simplify your planning process. The items that appear in the checklist are categories of tasks you must consider. The categories of planning tasks that appear in the checklist link to the in-depth information that you need to build your plan. Each topic indicates what you need to know before you can begin your planning process and what you should have or know when you are finished. You may need to have your server order information or know the requirements of your existing server as reference.
