A rack you can read at a glance
A rack page draws the cabinet as it hangs, each device labelled with the units it covers. Every range of units is written one way, such as U33–32, on the drawing, the device page, the labels, the reservations, the history, and the report, so a technician on site and an engineer in the office talk about the same space.
The back face shows the PDUs and full-depth gear. Half-unit heights, depth, and mount type are recorded per device, and a rack can count its units from the top or the bottom to match the stencil on the rails.
Build it fast, keep it right
Drag a device type or a saved preset from the palette onto the rack, then drag a device by its grip to reorder it. Undo and Redo step through reorders. A preset fills the type, make, model, height, and details, and draws the model’s front and back faces, so a forty-device build is minutes, not an afternoon.
Reserve units keeps space for planned gear: placing a device there asks first. Swap device replaces the hardware but keeps the place, the name, the port labels, and the links.
Part of the whole site
A rack lives in a room of a property of a client, so its devices carry their links, power feeds, credentials, photos, and history. The same rack prints in the property’s report and opens from the QR label on its door. See ports and cable runs for what connects to it.
Questions and answers
Can Cablefolio draw both the front and the back of a rack?
Yes. Every rack has a front and a back elevation at true U scale; full-depth devices and PDUs show on the back face, and the choice of face is one press on the rack page.
Does Cablefolio support device presets for common hardware?
Yes. Any device can be saved as a preset with its type, make, model, height, details, and drawn front and back faces. Presets can be imported and downloaded as a file, and changing a preset never changes devices already made from it.
Can I reserve rack units for equipment that has not arrived?
Yes. Reserve units keeps a range for planned gear; anyone placing a device there is asked to confirm, so the space is not taken by accident.
