Capacities
The Capacities pane is available in plan and rack views and shows the maximum capacities, consumed,
remaining and utilized capacities for the selected floor plans and assets that have collections assigned.
Plan capacities
This function shows the plan-level consumed and remaining capacities for power, space, weight, heat and
networking. When the capacities pane is open, the plan view shows the color corresponding with the capacity
usage for each floor-mounted asset as assets are added and deleted. The rack colors change from green (all
available) to red (none available) as usage is consumed, with yellow, green and orange being the mid-range
usage.
To view floor plan capacities:
1. Open a plan.
2. Select Capacities.
3. Use the drop-down list to view capacities:
• Power - Consumed - Remaining.
• Space - Consumed - Remaining.
• Weight - Consumed - Remaining.
• Heat - Consumed - Remaining Networking - Consumed - Remaining.
• Plan Level Capacities.
Color range control
The Color Range control located in the status bar allows you to adjust the distribution of capacity colorization.
This control is not visible in plan level capacities.
• As the left control is moved toward the right, the range of values that will be colored green will increase.
• As the right control is moved toward the left, the range of values that will be colored red will increase.
The color range control determines where the green range (minimum) should end and where the orange range
(maximum) should begin. You should only see an asset colored red when the asset has exceeded the given
capacity such as power-remaining.
As the controls are moved, you will see tool tips appear that represent the value of the left and right controls.
These values are always between the outer range values appearing to the left and to the right of the color range
control.
For example, using power-consumed in properties, and sliding the left control to the right will place more assets
in the green color band. If there is a single high-power asset that consumes considerably power more than the
other assets in the plan, sliding the right controller to the left would compress the color distribution to the range
of assets that fall between the values of the two controls.
Plan level capacities
This area shows maximum, consumed, remaining and utilized capacities for the entire plan.
