Supported and unsupported devices
You can discover supported devices, and create a group structure to build out the data center. Power Center cannot discover or
manage all device types, and unsupported devices must be manually added to make the data center group structure complete.
For supported devices:
● Device types include chassis, server, UPS, and PDU.
● Set the connection protocol and credential information so that the device can communicate with Power Center.
● Perform management functions including discovery, adding to the group structure, monitoring power and temperature,
applying power management policies, and sending events.
Power Center supports up to 6000 managed devices in one data center.
