A useful tool is a audio cable tracer. When disconnecting
a PC you attach the signal injector. You then use the other
half of the tool to identify the cable (it buzzes when near).
This allows the patch cables to be pulled with certainty
rather than left in the rack just in case it attached to some
other host and you fear causing an unplanned outage.


You whack on one of these things when there's still active gear on the end?
