Equipment holder extension classes

The Equipment Holder extension classes are the sub-classes that are extended from the Equipment Holder. You can define equipment holder records for these classes in the Telecommunications Network Inventory application.

Class Name	Table Name	Extends from	Description
Cabinet	cmdb\_ci\_container\_cabinet	cmdb\_ci\_equipment\_holder	A telecommunications cabinet, also known as a telecom cabinet or equipment cabinet, is a physical enclosure used to house and protect various telecommunications and network equipment, such as switches, routers, patch panels, and power supplies. It provides a secure and organized environment for the installation, management, and interconnection of telecommunications infrastructure within a network or data center.
Multi Rack	cmdb\_ci\_container\_multi\_rack	cmdb\_ci\_equipment\_holder	A multi-rack, also referred to as a multi-rack system or multi-rack enclosure, is a configuration consisting of multiple interconnected equipment racks used for housing and organizing a large amount of telecommunications or network equipment in a centralized manner. It provides expanded capacity and scalability, allowing for efficient deployment and management of equipment within data centers or telecommunication facilities.
Rack	cmdb\_ci\_container\_rack	cmdb\_ci\_equipment\_holder	A rack, commonly known as a server rack or equipment rack, is a framework designed to securely hold and organize various IT and telecommunications equipment, such as servers, networking devices, and storage units. It provides a standardized form factor for easy installation, organization, and maintenance of equipment in data centers and other technology environments.
Shelf	cmdb\_ci\_container\_shelf	cmdb\_ci\_equipment\_holder	A shelf holder, also known as a rack shelf or equipment shelf, is a component designed to support and hold non-rackmount equipment or devices within a rack or equipment cabinet. It provides a stable platform for equipment that does not have built-in rackmount capabilities, allowing for efficient organization and integration of various devices within the rack infrastructure.
Slot	cmdb\_ci\_container\_slot	cmdb\_ci\_equipment\_holder	In the context of technology and hardware, a slot refers to a physical or virtual receptacle designed to hold and accommodate a specific type of component, such as an expansion card or memory module. It provides a standardized interface and location for inserting and connecting the component to the main system or device.Dependent on Hardware \(contains::contained by\). Name is usually discoverable. If not available,use the name of the card that is contained in this slot.
Subslot	cmdb\_ci\_container\_subslot	cmdb\_ci\_equipment\_holder	In our context, a slot that is present on a Card and can accommodate child cards is considered a subslot.Dependent on Hardware \(contains::contained by\). Identification: Name \(100\). Name is discovered from SNMP. If not available, use the name of the card that is contained in this subslot.
