Back to basics - best ways to trace a cable

I have been tasked with overseeing a project where we trace out all of the cables in a datacenter. There is a total of 10 racks that are filled top to bottom. We will not get console access to any of the equipment, so no "show cdp neighbor". Plus some of the stuff doesnt go through switches anyways, so that would help in end. Literally the project is to manually trace each cable. The most important part is this customer does not want any disruption. So no accidental disconnects.

With all of that said, has anyone come up with any neat tricks to simplify the process?
