Example of Rack Elevation

Before installation, Davis can walk the site, document goals, specify wiring, design the rack, and map controls so the final system is easy to live with. In that kind of Davis AV consulting project, the term Rack Elevation would describe a layout drawing that shows where equipment will be positioned within an AV or network rack. Davis would use that understanding to account for site survey notes, scope, drawings, budget planning, equipment schedule, and implementation sequence, then test the result in the actual room, document the related components, and show the client how to use the feature without needing to manage the technical details behind it.
