## Task and cabinet scope

Request reference: ______ | Approved task owner: ______ | Reviewed revision: ______

Provider site code: ______ | Tenant site code: ______ | Building/room/cage: ______

Full cabinet identity: ______ | Required rack face: ______ | Approved approach reference: ______

Record the identity as it appears in both the provider's and tenant's records. A short rack number may repeat elsewhere in the facility. Give enough context to distinguish the cabinet without relying on an informal description such as 'next to the door.' Keep access instructions and contact details in the organization's controlled request system.

## Requested observations

State the exact permitted identification task: ______.

List the equipment or connection references relevant to that task. Avoid attaching an undifferentiated entire-room inventory when the technician needs to identify two endpoints. Record which source is current and who owns an apparent mismatch.

| Object or relationship | Expected visible reference | Source and revision | Requested evidence | Responsible party |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cabinet / face | ______ | ______ | ______ | ______ |
| Device / port / cable | ______ | ______ | ______ | ______ |
| Power relationship if in scope | ______ | ______ | ______ | ______ |

## Boundary and escalation

Provider responsibility: ______ | Tenant responsibility: ______

Approved contact-role reference: ______ | Escalation-channel reference: ______

Stop-and-refer conditions for this request: ______.

If a label or endpoint differs from the expected record, retain both values and refer the discrepancy through the stated channel. This brief does not authorize disconnecting a cable, switching a circuit, or moving equipment to discover an identity. Work authority remains with the approved request and facility process.

## Returned record

Observation time and technician reference: ______. Actual cabinet and face observed: ______.

Evidence locations: ______. Differences from expected values: ______. Unobserved or inaccessible items: ______.

- [ ] The returned evidence identifies the full cabinet scope.

- [ ] Discrepancies preserve expected and observed values.

- [ ] The task owner reviewed the return before updating authoritative records.

Record acceptance, follow-up, or partial completion explicitly. A completed visit does not necessarily mean every requested identity was resolved.
