Concepts:
There are no specific chapters for this course. There is no text. The
main objective is the term project, but there are pieces of it to do each
week, working from knowledge you have already, or can gain through research.
Assignments for this course need to be completed in order and on time.
Work for this class must be your own. The following information is from

the network

This week we begin with two assignments. For the first one, and for several
others, download the project overview and case study. Also, download
the data center designs document, linked in this week's 40 point
assignment. Complete both sections of the design assignment
and submit it before class next week.
For the second assignment, there is a discussion board posted
worth 20 points. It will be useful to complete the discussion board topic,
since it is related to the data center design.
