When you navigate to a room layout view, for example, by navigating to **DataCenter > Rooms**, choosing a room, and clicking **Show**, the racks are color-coded to show both space and power availability. Each power-enabled rack displays a rectangular bar graph representing each infeed of each PDU in the rack. These bars are color-coded, representing the amount of power currently in use over the infeed divided by the power capacity of that infeed.

It is important to note that in this case, **Green** is high and **Red** is low. You can set the red, yellow, and green percentages by navigating to the main menu and then **Tools > Settings > Global Settings**. Click the **Edit** button to bring up the following window:

To set the percentage that causes a rack to display as red, enter a value in the **Critical Power % Used** box. In the example above, a rack would display as red if the ratio of power drawn by all its infeeds divided by the total power available was greater than or equal to 80%. Greater than or equal to 70% would cause the rack to display as yellow.

By default, the **Bootstrap Power** column will be empty if there is no device connected. If there is a device connected, by default, the Bootstrap Power will show the nameplate watts of the hardware model of the device. Sometimes, however, you may wish to use a different number for the Bootstrap Power. If so, you would enter that number in the **Override Watts** field. In the example above, the user has entered 30 watts as the Override Watts for each of the outlets above. There are no connected devices in the above example; however, even if there were connected devices, Override Watts would still be the value used for the Bootstrap Power column. You can also have a mix of outlets, where some outlets get their Bootstrap Power from the device hardware model and some have an Override Watts value.
