location awareness of installed servers for advanced asset management and workload placement.

HPE 11000G2 and Intelligent Series Racks equipped with the Location Discovery option provide detailed location information to
ProLiant Gen8 servers to track new installations and equipment moves. Upon installation the server's iLO queries and records the
rack identifier as well as the exact U location of the server in the rack. Once the server knows exactly where it is located this
information can be forwarded to other systems such as HPE OneView and HPE Insight Control to automatically update new rack
configuration. This saves time in configuring hardware and software to manage the data center while eliminating constant manual
