FRONT VIEW REAR VIEW
PHYSICAL LAYOUT OVERVIEW
Physical layouts are an excellent way to show a customer or the Configuration Center the intended racking configuration of a solution (following proper racking guidelines - if you are unsure, please engage Configuration or a Solution Architect)
The physical representation can be the front view, rear view and can include all the components such as Disks, tapes, etc. Some systems are standalone, others are rack mounted like the example given here.
Rear views can be used to create more complicated configuration layouts such as LAN Connection diagrams, Power layouts, etc.
The drawing scale on this page has been set at a good starting point for the creation of Logical layouts. Always ensure you visit the Visio Café web sites to download the latest Visio Stencils for the systems you are drawing as they are constantly being updated.
To draw a layout similar to this example:
1.) Drag out Rack/Cabinet shape2.) Drag out System shapes like servers/Storage/UPS etc and Glue them into the Rack/Cabinet shape (rackl mount shapes will snap to U levels in the rack shapes)3.) Drag out peripheral components like Disk drives, tape drives, etc and snap/glue into System shapes4.) Draw connection lines or notations as necessary
