Examples of monitoring circuitry include a receiver circuit configured to receive a plurality of status indication signals, each status indication signal comprising information indicative of a cabinet occupancy status associated with one or more cabinets located in a data center storage space, a processor circuit configured to process the received status indication signals, and to determine if any of the status indication signals include an occupancy status indicating that the cabinet associated with the occupancy status indicates that at least one slot of the cabinet is not occupied with either the electronic device or the blanking cover, and to generate a status output signal indicative of any of the plurality of cabinets that are not fully occupied.
