The invention provides a modular network sensor assembly operable to sense
environmental conditions at a computer or equipment rack. The network
sensor assembly includes a flexible body operable to be folded along a
central fold line. The central fold line separates the flexible body into
a first panel and second panel. A number of mounting tabs are hingedly
attached to either the first panel or second panel. These mounting tabs
are operable to secure the network assembly to the computer rack. A
number of sensor tabs are located along the central fold line.
Addressable sensors capable of sensing environmental conditions are
positioned proximate to the sensor tabs, and communicatively coupled to a
common bus. A memory device is also communicatively coupled to the common
bus and is operable to store configuration information and data
associated with the sensed environmental conditions sampled by the
addressable sensors.
