摘要： A method, an information handling system (IHS) and a data center location system for determining physical locations of devices in a data center. The method includes generating an initial grouping of servers into a plurality of racks based on the at least one of a MAC address or IP address. Each server in a first rack is paired with each other server in communication with a switch aggregator to generate server pairs. The server pairs are transmitted to the respective servers. Each of the servers are triggered to measure and transmit received signal strength indication (RSSI) values for its respective server pairs. Positions of the servers in rows are determined based on the RSSI values. An intermediate grouping of the servers in rows is generated based on the determined positions.
