Description

Would it be possible to get some more rack widths defined or allow for custom entries for the widths?

In documenting our server rooms, we have APC InRow units that have a parent/child relationship for HVAC/Power/UPS/etc. They have rack units as slim at 12" wide.

For example, this guy:
http://www.apc.com/shop/us/en/products/InRow-RD-300mm-Air-Cooled-208-230V-60Hz/P-ACRD100

So being able to track this, identify it's pieces, serial numbers, etc are easy. But the rack elevations are not quite the same.

@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Aug 21, 2017):

These appear to be proprietary self-contained devices rather than general-purpose equipment racks, so it doesn't make sense to model them as racks. I would add them as unracked devices, with device bays for installed components if they are modular.
