Hello,

Say you have maybe special mounts that hold 4 mac minis. It's a 4U mount that has 4 separate mac minis. Netbox (as far as I can tell) will not allow me to add multiple devices to the same U mark. Does anyone else share this same issue as me and how do you deal with it? Put it under Non-racked devices?

Thanks

Sean

Build your shelf as a parent device. Build the Mac mini’s as a child device.

This is probably what I would do. Alternatively, you can just create the shelf and assign each Mini to the rack without specifying a face or position.

Thank you all for the good options. I will test this tomorrow.
