Abstract:
A rack location determination system includes a rack that defines a plurality of device housings. A rack wireless communication device is positioned on the rack and a computing device that includes a computing device wireless communication subsystem and that is positioned in a first device housing of the plurality of device housings in the rack. The computing device is configured to receive a wireless signal through the computing device wireless communication subsystem from the rack wireless communication device and determine a wireless signal strength of the received wireless signal. Based on the wireless signal strength of the wireless signal, the computing device is configured to determine a rack location of the computing device by using the wireless signal strength with a wireless signal strength/rack location mapping. The wireless signal strength/rack location mapping is associated with a location of the first rack wireless communication device.
