Handling assets/devices attached to a Device

As I’m working through how to model USB devices (Printers, scanners, etc), I’m not seeing a way to associate a device with another device. For instance, USB printer X is plugged into Server Y. 
How do folks go about handling things like disk trays for file servers? They would have a similar ‘attached to’ relationship that would not necessarily be IP/Network based.

  Need this for DAS (directly attached storage) too.

  Hi Chris,

  We have added an option to add asset to device relations based on asset type in v9.3.0: http://blog.device42.com/2016/01/customized-column-views-in-v9-3-0/

  Thanks & Regards,

  Thanks Raj!  Does this work with device-to-device as well, or only device-to-asset?

  Hi John,

  Oops - only for asset to device for now. Marking this back to planned state.

  Thanks,

  Raj

  I really have a need for this as well (Device > Device)

  Thanks

  With the port changes, this has been added in v12.0.0. You can now connect devices to other devices (not just switch ports)
