The sites the equipment was located in were IDCs all over the world. Unless you have equipment in a totally dark location there should be
someone that can act as a pair of hands to connect things up for you.
Not an option for people using discount dedicated servers like serverbeach/ev1servers/etc.
For example, I'm personally on serverbeach, and their only "physical" support is a reload from fresh OS image. They'll do config support for x$/hr, but not actual physical support. They own the boxes so if your hardware fails they swap it out, so there's no "need" for access.
