Abstract
System and methods for determining positions of server computers within a rack are disclosed. Unit Identification (UID) lights of the server computers are turned ON to determine positions of server computers relative to other server computers or relative to other server computers and non-server levels. The non-server levels include empty levels and levels with equipment that are not server computers. The positions of server computers are identified based on images of the servers captured by a camera or by polling the states of the UID lights.
