Default several task must be completed out of hours, not split

I have to update a large number of devices, each during out of hours. I have a couple of weeks to do this so I want to do as many per night as possible, however I cannot do more than one at a time.
To do the upgrade there are 3 tasks that have to run sequentially on each device and it has to be completed out of hours. How can I make project not start a device upgrade if it cannot complete all three tasks during the out of hours window?

Ii would create a task calendar to restrict the working hours to your "out of hours" time. Unfortunately there is not a direct method to restrict tasks from not being split over the different "out of hours" slots. The best thing I can suggest is to figure out what is the required path -- ie can one task be done one night and the other two happen another night? Then see if you can estimate how long each combination takes. If the series of 3 tasks take a total of 4 hours and your "out of hours" time ends at 11:00 pm -- then it must be started by 7:00 pm in order to finish by 11:00 pm.
