Using the Location would physically group them. You'd have /location with all of the cages listed, /location/cage with all of the racks and /location/cage/rack with all of the devices. You could even create custom reports to list them.

I then use the slot for just the slot. So one of my locations is /1644 magnolia/server room/bay 2 The servers in that bay will then all be assigned to a slot. Fortunately we do not have cages to worry about on top of this but, I suppose it would work the same way, just one more level.
