# Colocation
Only servers that meet Selectel's equipment requirements can be colocated:
* [Terms of use for individual services: Colocation](https://files.selectel.ru/docs/ru/conditions-colocation.pdf);
* [Technical specifications. Colocation for equipment with one power supply Unit in a server rack](https://selectel.ru/media/files/docs_ru/tu_colo_1bp.pdf);
* [Technical specifications. Colocation for equipment with two power supply Units in a server rack](https://selectel.ru/media/files/docs_ru/tu_colo_2bp.pdf).
If your equipment requires special conditions for hosting, [create a ticket](https://my.selectel.ru/tickets/create/). A Selectel employee will clarify the details and check the technical feasibility of hosting.
1. [Order the colocation service](#order-colocation).
2. [Prepare documents and details](#document-preparation).
3. [Prepare equipment for colocation](#host-server).
4. [Deliver equipment to the data center](#deliver-equipment).
## 1. Order the colocation service \{#order-colocation}
1. In the [control panel](https://my.selectel.ru/cloud-servers/), on the top menu, click **Products** and select **Colocation**.
2. Select a [project](/access-control/projects/about-projects.mdx).
3. Click **Colocation**.
4. Select a [region and pool segment](/infrastructure/locations.mdx).
5. Enter the serial number of the equipment — it will be specified in the [Delivery and acceptance form](https://files.selectel.ru/docs/ru/act_po.pdf).
6. Select the colocation format.
7. Click **Proceed to checkout**.
8. Select the payment period.
9. Check the total cost of colocation.
10. Confirm you agree to the payment terms.
11. Click **Pay**.
12. Review the order information.
13. Click **Pay**.
14. After payment, a ticket will be created with information about preparing and hosting the equipment in the data center and network settings. The [paid period](/server-colocation/about/payment.mdx) starts from the moment the equipment is installed in the rack and connected to the network. By default, the [traffic consumption model](/server-colocation/about/traffic-plans.mdx) with a fixed speed (100 Mbps channel and unlimited traffic) is used for traffic accounting. You can [change the traffic consumption model](/server-colocation/about/traffic-plans.mdx#change-traffic-comsumption-model) after the equipment is installed.
## 2. Prepare documents and details \{#document-preparation}
To colocate equipment, two documents must be signed:
* "Terms of Service" for your [account type](/account/registration.mdx#account-types), if you are hosting equipment for the first time. If you have previously signed the "Terms of Service" when hosting, you do not need to do this again;
* "Delivery and acceptance form.".
You can sign the documents in any way convenient for you:
* in person at the data center when handing over the equipment. Engineering and technical department staff will prepare the documents for your arrival at the data center;
* via the [electronic document management system (EDM](account/electronic-document-management.mdx)) for business accounts. Ensure that all company details are filled in the [Control Panel](https://my.selectel.ru/profile/profile). You can [change company details](/account/change-profile.mdx#change-company-details) if necessary;
* in advance in print. To do this, print the documents, sign them in two copies, and hand them over with the equipment.
The documents and details required to prepare for equipment transfer depend on the account type:
Personal account
* passport of the person responsible for transferring the equipment to the data center and signing documents;

Equipment intake and installation can take up to one day.
