Describing the Sensor Location
Optional:
Use the X, Y and Z coordinates to describe each sensor's
physical location. You can use these location values to track records of
environmental conditions in fixed locations around your IT equipment. The
X, Y and Z values act as additional attributes and are not tied to any
specific measurement scheme. If you choose to, you can use
non-measurement values. For example:
X =
Brown Cabinet Row
Y =
Third Rack
Z =
Top of Cabinet
Values for the X, Y and Z coordinates may consist of:
For X and Y: Any combination of alphanumeric characters.
The value
can be 0 to 24 characters long.
For Z when the 'Rack Units ("U")' checkbox is deselected: Any
combination of alphanumeric characters, from 0 to 24 characters long.
For Z when the 'Rack Units ("U")' checkbox is selected: Any integer
from 0 to 60.
A selected 'Rack Units ("U")' checkbox indicates that the height of the Z
coordinate is measured in standard rack units. See
Using Rack Units for
the Z Coordinate Value
(on page 126).
Note: To configure and retrieve these coordinate values over SNMP, see
the Dominion PX MIB.
Using Rack Units for the Z Coordinate Value
You can use the number of rack units to describe the vertical location (Z
coordinate) of an environmental sensor.
To use rack units for the Z coordinate value:
1. Choose Device Settings > PDU Setup. The PDU Setup page opens.
2. Select the 'Use Rack Units ("U") for Z coordinate' checkbox.
3. Click
Apply.
