Describing the Sensor Location
Use the X, Y and Z coordinates to describe each sensor's physical
location. You can use these location values to track records of
environmental conditions in fixed locations around your IT equipment.
The X, Y and Z values act as additional attributes and are not tied to any
specific measurement scheme. If you choose to, you can use non-
measurement values. For example:
X = Brown Cabinet Row
Y = Third Rack
Z = Top of Cabinet
Values for the X, Y and Z coordinates may consist of:
 For X and Y: Any combination of alphanumeric characters. The
coordinate value can be 0 to 24 characters long.
 For Z when the Z coordinate format is set to Rack Units, any numeric
value ranging from 0 to 60.
 For Z when the Z coordinate format is set to Free-Form, any
alphanumeric characters from 0 to 24 characters.
Tip: To configure and retrieve these coordinate values over SNMP, see
the EMX MIB. To configure and retrieve these values over the CLI, see
Using the Command Line Interface (on page 212).
