  <p><strong>Where is an upgrade installed in a remote server?</strong><br>
  An upgrade is
  installed in a remote server in the same position  as an agenda or
  asset. The Runner should not be able to tell  what type of card is
  installed in a remote server by its position.  This is different than
  installing an upgrade in a central server,  where it is always
  installed in the root.</p>

For this, I place all remote server cards next to each other, to let the runner know that there are N cards in the server.

<p>No, the runner should not be able to know what type of card is in the server, be it Agenda, Asset or Upgrade. The only place a runner should know what the card type is is in the central servers. This is intentional, to bait the runner into runs, particularly with upgrades like <a href="https://netrunnerdb.com/en/card/10076" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Mumbad Virtual Tour</a> or <a href="https://netrunnerdb.com/en/card/11040" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Prisec</a>, letting the runner think the ice and upgrades are protecting points when it's just a heavy tax for the runner to pay getting into the server, letting you put the asset behind the ice next turn when they go broke.</p>

<p>If a corporation installs an upgrade on a remote server, should the runner be able to tell it's an upgrade, and not an asset or agenda?</p>

<p>You can install multiple upgrades, but only one asset or agenda.  If you install an upgrade and an agenda/asset, does it matter how you place them on the table?  Should the runner be able to tell whether you have an agenda/asset and an upgrade, or two upgrades?</p>

Should runners be able to tell the difference between installed upgrades and agendas/assets?

No, the runner should not be able to know what type of card is in the server, be it Agenda, Asset or Upgrade. The only place a runner should know what the card type is is in the central servers. This is intentional, to bait the runner into runs, particularly with upgrades like [Mumbad Virtual Tour](https://netrunnerdb.com/en/card/10076) or [Prisec](https://netrunnerdb.com/en/card/11040), letting the runner think the ice and upgrades are protecting points when it's just a heavy tax for the runner to pay getting into the server, letting you put the asset behind the ice next turn when they go broke.
