### Grouping Hardware Nodes by Racks

You may have considerable number of servers (Hardware Nodes) in your Data Center, and in order to facilitate Hardware Nodes management, the HSPcomplete is designed in such a way, that all Hardware Nodes can be grouped into the special sets called Racks.

From HSPcomplete standpoint, a rack is a logical container. A rack may be considered as an object within HSPcomplete system. This means that if you do not have any material racks at your Data Center, you can group your Hardware Nodes into logical racks just for better manageability. On the other hand, the set of racks you create in HSPcomplete may follow the actual configuration of your Data center.

To view/edit the racks configuration, go to the Operations Director - Infrastructure Manager - Data Center - Racks. Here you can add a rack, and change the properties of existing racks.

The list of racks (if any) displays the following:

- ID Numerical identifier, assigned to the Rack.
- Name Name of the rack where the Hardware node is installed. It is purely a logical entity used for grouping of Hardware Nodes.
- Capacity Rack Capacity, usually measured in rack units (U).
- Space Used Space used by computers, usually measured in rack units (U).
- Space Free Free Space left in the Rack, usually measured in rack units (U).
