Data Center cable removal Best practices

Hello,

Data Center rookie here.

I am researching best practices for cable removal procedures in the data center.

For example, if someone wants to remove a server, what process should they follow to ensure the data cables are properly deactivated before physical removal? There is no good time to have an unplanned outage.

I found a few threads that do not quite answer my questions on the official process of cable removal:

https://www.reddit.com/r/networking/comments/8brq88/best_practice_removing_150_unused_cables_from_2x/

reddit.com/r/networking/comments/6n1qrk/cable_labeling_best_practices/

I also have a copy of the TIA-942 white paper. But it too does not elaborate on the process of checking when it is "safe" to unplug something.

When its time to unplug, what is the process you follow to ensure you are unplugging the right things?
