A Rack Diagram is a visual blueprint of a server or data center rack that shows the arrangement of equipment such as servers, switches, routers, and other hardware in standardized rack units (U). It helps IT teams plan layouts, track inventory, document connections, and optimize space, power, and cooling. By providing a clear view of what’s inside each rack, rack diagrams make installation, management, and troubleshooting much more efficient.

How to Draw a Rack Diagram

Open a Rack Diagram Template

Launch Creately and choose a pre-built rack diagram template to get started instantly. Alternatively, open a blank canvas and use the dedicated rack diagram shape library to build your diagram from scratch.

Customize Your Rack Layout

Adjust the rack’s size, scale, and structure to fit your infrastructure. Drag and drop additional servers, switches, and components from the shape library to expand your rack. Apply configurable color themes and formatting options to clearly differentiate components.

Add Details and Notes

Use the notes panel, sticky notes, and data fields to document specifications, cable connections, and power requirements. Attach links, images, or references directly to components so all relevant information stays in one place.

Collaborate in Real Time

Invite teammates or clients to the shared workspace. Work together with real-time cursors, contextual comments, and @mentions to troubleshoot and refine the rack design. Track updates with full version history to review changes or restore earlier versions.

Review, Update, and Share

Once the diagram is complete, review it with stakeholders and make final adjustments. Share securely via link access or export in multiple formats for documentation, presentations, or ongoing infrastructure planning.
