## Key Features
* **General Fields:** Define physical slot orientation (None, Horizontal, Vertical), track serial numbers, total units, units in use, and units available. Specify the support group responsible, lifecycle stage (such as Deploy, Design, End of Life, Inventory, Operational, Purchase), and lifecycle stage status (In Maintenance, In Use, Pending Retirement).
* **Management Details:** Assign a manager responsible for the network asset by selecting a user from the directory.
* **Identification:** Record manufacturer details, model ID, and model number, facilitating accurate asset identification and vendor relations.
* **Alarmable Option:** Designate whether the asset can have an assigned alarm system for monitoring purposes.
* **Configuration Fields:** Include physical orientation of slots, unit position, and network domain ownership categorization (Mobility, Telco, Core) to contextualize asset placement and responsibility.
* **Capacity and Power Details:** Specify allotted electric power with unit selection (Watts, Kilowatts, Megawatts, Horsepower) and ensure minimum power values to maintain rack/cabinet capacity. Max weight capacity and unit of measure can be set according to Metric or US Imperial systems, with automatic conversions to Pounds or Kilowatts as applicable.
* **Comments:** Add free-form notes for additional context, such as duty technician assignments.
## Practical Benefits for ServiceNow Customers
