After you create the rack, you can put assets in the rack so that Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center can present them and manage them as if it were a physical asset.
The rack asset is a group that includes other managed assets installed in the physical rack, such as servers or compute nodes, storage arrays or appliances, switches, and power distribution units (PDU).
Procedure to create a rack and place assets into the rack.
Use the Place/Remove Assets in Rack action and the Place/Remove PDU in Rack action to specify each asset in the physical rack and its location in the rack so that Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center can represent the physical rack accurately to remote users.

Use the Place/Remove Assets in Rack action and the Place/Remove PDU in Rack action to specify each asset in the physical rack and its location in the rack so that Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center can represent the physical rack accurately to users who cannot examine the rack. Update the type and location of the assets in the rack asset when the configuration of the physical rack changes.
Procedure to place a power distribution unit in a rack.
To add PDUs to the rack asset, use the Place/Remove PDUs action in the same way. Select the rack and the action. The assets you have placed in the rack are shown in the Assets in Rack pane. Add each PDU.
