restructuring network cabling, what should do first?

by kawarimi . Updated 18 years, 7 months ago

Hi all, my management has approve to restructure the network cabling for my whole company, so which step should I do first? below are the environment of my company

1, A building of 4 floors (ground, 1st, second,third)

2, 210 network point ( workstation / server / printing device)

3, 5 servers scattered in each floors but will be centralised in 2nd floor after recabling everything

4, purhcased few floor standing 42u closed rack with alot of switches

so now, the question is probably I need to finish the raised floor in the server room first. Then what should I do? My thought is

1, Get the raised floor done.
2, Put install all the new patch panels, switches and rack in position.
3, Do the cabling start from backbone cables.
4, labeling each point
5, After done all the cabling, move all server into server room.

so else should I bear in mind? Or I need rearrange my steps? In the whole resturcturing process, we are trying to make it zero downtime for our network access. Hope to have you guys advice soon. Thanks
