Configure Rack
Draft — needs screenshots. This section hasn't been through the docs-capture pipeline yet, so there are no screenshots. Steps are grounded in the current product code (routes and page components), not a live capture — verify against the running product once this section is captured.
Click Configure Racks on the Infrastructure page to open the rack configurator. It shares its layout with Configure Chassis Type — a Racks / Chassis Types tab pair at the top of the same page.
Creating and selecting a rack
A Create new rack button adds a new rack with an auto-generated name and a default capacity of 16 rack units. A dropdown at the top of the form lets you switch between existing racks. Switching away from a rack with unsaved changes prompts you to save and switch, or discard.
Editing a rack
The form has two fields:
- Rack Name — the rack's label.
- Rack Units — the rack's total unit capacity. This is locked once any chassis is mounted, since resizing would conflict with mounted equipment.
Below the fields, the rack is rendered as a column of unit slots, each either free or occupied by a mounted chassis.
Mounting and positioning chassis
A sidebar lists chassis that aren't mounted to any rack yet (searchable by chassis ID). Chassis are moved by drag-and-drop:
- Drag a chassis from the sidebar into a free slot to mount it at that position.
- Drag a mounted chassis to a different free slot to reposition it within the rack.
- Drag a mounted chassis back to the sidebar to unmount it.
Saving, resetting, and deleting
Save Changes persists the rack's name, unit capacity, and mounted-chassis positions. Reset discards unsaved edits and reverts to the last-saved state. Delete is only enabled for a rack with no chassis mounted (neither saved nor pending) and asks for confirmation before removing the rack.
