 Hard to audit asset
 Hard to plan RU
resource
 Mistakes without
knowing
 Error-prone
 Complex
procedures?
According to the Gartner, only less than 25% companies around the world have appropriate IT
assets management plans. Most of them are still using the complex manual tracking and monitoring
method, or they even don’t know how many hardware assets they have. As they don't know clearly
their IT assets well, there are a lot of loss in time, money and system performance.

11. U-level Module
 6U reader module, each reader
represent a rack U
 There is a iron embedded in the
casing, to be attached by the magnet
on the tag.
 Based on Digitalor’s patented MC-
RFID technology, 100% accuracy
and stability ensured.
Modules are series connected,
e.g. 42U = 6U module x 7 pcs
45U = 6U x 5 pcs + 5U x 3 pcs
 The module on the top is
connected to network by RJ45
connector
 Powered by PoE or 12V DC
 Support SNMP and REST API

12.  ISO14443A standards, NFC compatible
 Encrypted by AES128, security compliance
 Confirm to EMI & EMC compliance
U-level IoT Tag
3M sticker, can firmly attach to any asset
 1kB memory, can store relevant information,
can be read by U-level module or mobile
terminal directly.
 QR code is tag’s unique ID, for quick
programming the tag.

13. The UTAG is used to store IT assets information with the capacity of 1KB,
such as SN, U size, model and etc.
