3.2 Adding a discovered storage, network, or non-Dell device in a
rack
Add the unit size and estimated power consumption for each discovered device (storage, network, or non-
Dell device) before adding them to a rack. You can get the unit size and power consumption estimate
from the device specification or from a manual inspection. This step ensures that the device is occupying
the right amount of space when added to a rack and contributes to the rack power and space headroom
calculations.
3.2.1 Specifying device unit size and estimated power
This section explains about how to specify unit size and estimated maximum power consumption of a
device.
