Hi Chu Li,
It seems the illustrated rack contains power measurements, so the estimated load calculations would always full back to the best available information in the rack. For detail detail description please see this page: Adjusted nameplate or predicted power

So in your illustrated example, the estimated load calculations and predictions are based on the measurements. The capacity calculations would display your expected estimated load as soon as you add a device/server (to this empty rack) and connect to the rack pdu's.

Kind regards
