Understood, however the slots don't actually show up on the picture in the rack 
also as far as I can see there is no way to add the extended information that 
some of the stock items have.


Best regards

You will get different attributes depending on what type of object you add i.e. 
Server, Server Chassis etc, you can modify this in the attributes configuration 
section.
If you add a server chassis and choose a particular hardware type then it will 
get the slot information from the dictionary. If you have a new chassis model 
that is not in there then you need to create a new dictionary item in a similar 
format to the entries that are alredy there to show rows/columns.
