DESCRIPTION:			Compaq Rack Builder Pro 2.5 is a powerful 
application which allows a customer to configure a single or a suite of racks. 
There are two available methods for building a rack suite configuration which
are:  "Builder Mode", which enables adding and removing components with the 
Drag-and-Drop interface feature, and "Assisted Mode", which features a guided
interview process to determine the optimum distribution of rack mountable
components. There are a variety of reports available which will allow you to 
print or view the rack solution. 

Enhancements/Fixes:		Product Updates 

Rack graphics are now saved along with reports to allow the reports to be viewed on systems
on which Rack Builder Pro is not installed. 

Multiple instances of a component may be renamed from the Specifications tab in Builder Mode.

Users may add up to 4 PDU's per rack in Visual Rack Builder after exiting Assisted Mode.
