#### Create a Rack

To create a rack:

1. Open the Operations Director submenu and select the Infrastructure Manager.
2. On the Data Center Submenu click Racks. The list of all racks (if any) appears.
3. Click the New Rack link.
4. Fill the form that appears:
   1. Type the name of the Rack (an alphanumeric identifier of the Rack as an object within HSPcomplete) in the Name field. Spaces are allowed. Maximum length of Rack Name is 20 symbols including spaces. Please note that this item is mandatory (marked with asterisk).
   2. You can type a rack color in the Color textbox. This is an optional attribute that may be indicated if you intend to associate a HSPcomplete rack with an actual rack at your Data Center. Otherwise, you may indicate any color you can imagine.
   3. You can specify a rack manufacturer in the Brand textbox. This is an optional HSPcomplete Rack attribute that may be indicated in the case if you intend to associate HSPcomplete Rack with an actual rack at your Data Center.
   4. You can specify a rack capacity in the Capacity field. This is an optional HSPcomplete rack attribute representing the maximal number of Hardware Nodes this rack can contain. Similarly to a real rack capacity, this attribute is measured in Units (U). A HSPcomplete logical rack does not have any capacity restrictions. Thus, you may indicate this attribute if you want logical grouping of Hardware Nodes within your HSPcomplete system correspond to the actual arrangement of your hardware boxes.
   5. You can specify the rack actual location in the Location field. Similarly to capacity, this property may be indicated if you want to associate the Hardware Nodes logical grouping with the actual allocation of your hardware boxes.
