Robert , Pretty much the de facto standard that I have seen is Microsoft Visio with some good product specific stencils (to get actual dimenions and to show where all of the physical connections are at). I'm sure this isn't what you are hoping for but *I* haven't seen anything better that anyone actually uses. Pen and Paper may be your best quick and dirty solution.
We had stencils from a place like Netzoom (could be wrong on the brand, there are a lot of resources out there) http://www.netzoom.net/home/index.php Craig On Thu, May 6, 2010 at 1:37 PM, Robert Citek <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello all, > > Does anyone have any recommended tools that help design the layout for > a rack system? > > Ideally, I'm looking for a tool where I can create a 42U rack, add > some 1U/2U/4U devices, cable them up, add power, etc. ... just so I > get a feel for how to run cables and access the systems. > > Right now pen and graph paper is working much faster than anything > electronic. > > Regards, > - Robert > > -- > Central West End Linux Users Group (via Google Groups) > Main page: http://www.cwelug.org > To post: [email protected] > To subscribe: [email protected] > To unsubscribe: [email protected] > More options: http://groups.google.com/group/cwelug -- Central West End Linux Users Group (via Google Groups) Main page: http://www.cwelug.org To post: [email protected] To subscribe: [email protected] To unsubscribe: [email protected] More options: http://groups.google.com/group/cwelug
