Describing the Sensor or Actuator's Location

Use the X, Y and Z coordinates to describe each sensor or actuator'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:

Tip: To configure and retrieve these coordinate values over SNMP, see the PXE MIB. To configure and retrieve these values over the CLI, see Using the Command Line Interface.
