We want to move the servers racked in A1, a router rack, to different positions in row A. This will eliminate any service interruptions caused by regular service maintenance. This is the proposed relocations with some issues addressed.

this is what i think will work, with two issues.
Both of the 2U servers (that are 1G) will be going in 10G racks. I positioned them at the top so that we can cable them to the last quartet on each lsw. that way they take as little as possible from the 10G racks. otherwise they need to go to a different row. There isn't enough room to rehome two 2U servers in the 1G racks on row A.
also the three servers going in A6 will be using space freed up by moving the mgmt switch to the top. There are enough power ports and available power in this rack because of already racked 2U servers. I will have to break the power cabling conventions in this rack to fit them.
otherwise there is adequate space and power to move these servers out of the router rack.
