Check hardware against the list
Record models, part numbers, serials, capacity and revisions, comparing delivery with the approved configuration.

Keep a verifiable record of configurations, test conditions and acceptance criteria.
Hardware and application reference imageryRecord models, part numbers, serials, capacity and revisions, comparing delivery with the approved configuration.
Record BIOS, drivers, OS, frameworks and power settings so environment changes are not mistaken for hardware differences.
Monitor temperatures, power, errors and throttling; run representative models, data or applications rather than a single peak benchmark.
Record passed checks, open issues and owners, with explicit handover of data migration, credentials and remote management access.
Applications and models, data scale, user or node counts, latency and throughput goals, existing resources, budget and site constraints. Existing measurements help narrow the shortlist.
Discuss selection, bills of materials, samples and procurement on a project basis. Model availability, implementation, installation and validation scope require agreement after requirements review.
