Rack/panel locations, ports, cable assemblies, and any optical conversion will be added with the rack layout. Drawing links will carry the detailed cable and connector assignments.

Team notes: The imager readout transport and Archon network arrangement are the main choices affecting rack ingress. Server UPS coverage and the facility uplink also need to be assigned.
