This map gives the space available in the room to place racks. A server room can be attached to a data center and to a location. ![A GLPI server room](https://304570660-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fuys4bnfAs7Oe2yWUUh3p%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-0f3998355c49a959526d53124ae52a0323d27359%2Fserver-room-en.png?alt=media) You can specify the details of your data center: * Name * Data center position * Data center * Location * Number of columns * Number of rows * Cell width * Cell height * Background image (blueprint) *** ## Racks This tab allow to display and modify the map of a server room by adding directly on the map the racks composing the room. If the room contains many elements, it is possible to switch from a grid view to a list view. ![Map of a server room](https://304570660-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fuys4bnfAs7Oe2yWUUh3p%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-703b4a6719de787acabff590a715ddc54405104e%2Fserver-room-rack-en.png?alt=media) {% hint style="info" %} The map is a grid defined by a number of lines and columns. One rack consumes one square. The background image can enhance room visualization, in particular if this image has been generated by a dedicated tool. {% endhint %} ## Impact Analysis Impact analysis enables an infrastructure diagram to be drawn up, showing the dependencies and impacts in the event of equipment loss. This can be saved and exported. Go to Impact Analysis *** ## Management Management of financial and administrative information, this information is visible in the 'Management' tab on the computer's form. Go to Financial & administrative information *** ## Contracts GLPI supports contracts management, in order to manage contract types such as loan, maintenance, support... Contracts management allows to: * make an inventory of all contracts related to the organization assets * integrate contracts in GLPI financial management * anticipate and follow contract renewal. * Documents The [document](/glpi-12/management/documents.md) tab lets you link different types of file to a material (PDF, txt, png, etc.) You can attach a document already uploaded to GLPI or add a new one directly from this tab. Go to Contacts *** ## Documents The document tab lets you link different types of file to a material (PDF, txt, png, etc.) You can attach a document already uploaded to GLPI or add a new one directly from this tab. Go to Documents *** ## Links Links offer several possibilities. Send the GLPI object file to another URL of your choice, or generate an RDP file, for example. Go to Links *** ## Tickets View all tickets linked to the item. Go to Tickets *** ## Problems This tab refers to all hardware-related problems. Problems can also be linked to tickets, projects, etc. This allows you to have a complete scenario when necessary. Go to Problems *** ## Changes Changes lists all changes related to a material. From this tab, you can't link a change directly, you can do it from **`Assistance`** > **`Changes`** > **`Items`**. You can create a new change from this page, which will be linked to the material you have selected. Go to Changes *** ## History The *History* tab is used to show any changes made to an item. The following information about the changes is available: * ID of the change. * Date and time the change was made. * User who made the change. If this field is not filled, it means that the action was done automatically (For example: automatic inventory update). * Field that was changed. * Description of the change that was made. The description of the change represents either the difference between the old and the new value (For example with location field: Change HQ to Remote Office A), or the explanation of the action which was carried out (For example: Uninstallation of a software: "Gimp 2.0"). {% hint style="info" %} For dropdowns or objects with a parent/child relationship, the modification of a child will appear in the history of the parent element. {% endhint %} *** ## All Information For an item, all information is displayed on one page from the *All* tab. This shows all of the tabs of an object's form in one view, one below the other. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://help.glpi-project.org/glpi-12/management/data-centers/server-room.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
