supervisory / monitoring bay
Explanation:
I'm assuming this is literally an equipment 'bay' of some kind? So presumably this is a fairly large installation...

'supervisory' or 'monitoring' are both used in this sort of context, though the former is probably better here.

'Bay' and 'rack' are iften used interchangeably in EN; if there is any nuance of meaning, one might say that 'bay' emphasizes its function, what it is used for, while 'rack' tends to place the emphasis on the form it takes: a 'rack' is a specific kind of equipment installation facility, almost invariably referring to the 19" modular racking system. A bay may often use this system too, but it is not automatically implied by the name itself: other forms of 'bay' also exist.
Both terms are equally used in FR, without, I suspect, any real nuance of meaning; but I see no reason here to perversely depart from the literal rendering — thereby avoiding any risk of over-interpretation.

neutral  Tony M: Wrong type of 'baie', I think Chris. And let's face it, you don't usually need a User Manual for a window, eh?
