drop-down arrow and select an option from the list.
 Rack Units: The height of the Z coordinate is measured in
standard rack units. When this is selected, you can type a
numeric value in the rack unit to describe the Z coordinate of any
environmental sensors or actuators.
 Free-Form: Any alphanumeric string can be used for specifying
the Z coordinate.

Describing the Sensor's 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:

For X and Y: Any combination of alphanumeric characters. The
coordinate value can be 0 to 24 characters long.

For Z when the Z coordinate format is set to
Rack Units
, any numeric
value ranging from 0 to 60.

For Z when the Z coordinate format is set to
Free-Form
, any
alphanumeric characters from 0 to 24 characters.
Tip: To configure and retrieve these coordinate values over SNMP, see
the PX MIB. To configure and retrieve these values over the CLI, see
Using the Command Line Interface (on page 335).
