Adding a new device
The Add New Device window enables you to manually add a new device to the device list. You can add only unsupported devices and
create a group structure to build the data center.
OpenManage Power Center cannot discover or manage all device types, and you must manually add unsupported devices to complete the
data center group structure. For supported devices:
• Discover and add a supported device to the system.
• Perform management functions including discovery, adding to the group structure, monitoring power and temperature, applying power
management policies, and sending events.
