Defining Equipment Specification Properties

When you define Equipment specifications, you can specify its properties, including its equipment category.

To define Equipment specification properties:

Create a new Equipment specification or navigate to the editor of an existing one.

See "Creating New Specifications" for more information.
In the Equipment Specification editor, click the Properties tab.
(Optional) In Equipment Category, select CARD, SHELF, or RACK.

The Visualization tab is empty for Equipment specifications that have not been assigned to a category. For example, if you are configuring a chassis, you can define its arrangement of slots and cards.
(For the CARD category only) In Required Holders, select the number of holders required for instances of this specification.

This number defines the number of equipment holders (slots) the card occupies. For example, if you set the value to 2, the card requires two contiguous slots. This requirement is enforced in both Design Studio and UIM.
(Optional) In the Vendor, Model Number, and Part Number fields, enter appropriate information.
From the File menu, select Save.
