Serial numbers live inside the report — and the report is released only after a signed agreement. Before paper, buyers see configurations, counts, test summaries, and photos with serials withheld.
The RackMind Certification Report
Every lot RackMind places travels with a one-page Certification Report — the same standard for every lot: what the hardware is, how it tested, what shape it is in, and how it was handled. In writing, before money moves.
The report documents the seller's own testing and representations. It is evidence, not a RackMind warranty: the buyer verifies against it during the acceptance window, and the seller's signature stands behind it.
- 01
Identity & configuration
Part numbers, nameplate data, and the full configuration manifest, verified line by line.
- 02
Power-on & diagnostics
The unit boots clean and its diagnostic logs are reviewed. Errors are reported, not hidden.
- 03
Performance testing
Burn-in and benchmark results attached: throughput, thermals, memory and interconnect checks.
- 04
Condition grade
Every unit graded on a published scale: Grade A — like new, full function. Grade B — full function, cosmetic wear. Grade C — function notes attached, priced accordingly.
- 05
Photo record
The unit, its nameplate and serial plate, and its connectors — photographed and attached.
- 06
Custody & data statement
The chain of custody, and the drives statement: drives never enter RackMind's custody; where drives move through a certified processing partner, the serialized NIST 800-88 certificates are attached.
One page of facts — attachments behind it
- Lot reference & date
- Item & full configuration
- Serial list (released after signed paper)
- Test results & attachments
- Condition grade
- Photo set
- Custody & data statement
- Acceptance terms
The buyer's inspection window is named in the agreement before anything ships. If the hardware does not match the report, the report controls — the remedy path is written into the same agreement.
Testing is performed by the seller or a certified processing partner and documented in the report; RackMind verifies completeness and consistency. RackMind is not a testing lab.
Certification, stated plainly
RackMind is a sourcing and coordination business and does not hold R2 or NAID certification; all data sanitization is performed by certified processing partners.
