Configuring equipment not available in the genome library

[EcoStruxureIT]

When you add equipment to the floor and rack layouts, you might find that the product you want to add to your data center model doesn't exist as a standard component in the system's Genome Library yet.

The Genome Library is a public generic library that contains thousands of measured server power profiles, and storage and switch specifications. It is continuously growing, but it doesn't include all products on the market as soon as they are released, so some products may not be in the database yet.

You might need a genome that is slightly different from one in the library. In this case, you can create a new genome with more precise information in your local genomes.

Creating new genomes based on generic components

You can use the generic components to configure a product that does not exist in the Genome Library.

For example, some network and compute units are not included in the Genomes yet.

Use the generic network and switch components as templates and customize the properties to match your product:

To add network products, use:

• Generic Switch Enclosure
• Generic Switch Module

To add blade products, use:

• Generic Blade Enclosure
• Generic Blade

To add other not yet supported equipment, use for example:

• Gap (items over which cables and cooling lines can be routed (such as a walkway or ramp)
• Block (solid items over which cables and cooling lines cannot be routed (such as a support column)

You can also use the generic components to configure custom equipment, such as half size racks and other custom solutions.

Importing genomes

You can import genomes into your local genomes. You might find this useful when you edit existing custom genomes.

1. Select Planning > Data Center in the Application bar.
2. Select File > Import > Genomes.
3. In the Open dialog box that appears, browse to, and select the file (*.cat format provided by Schneider Electric).
