Device Management

From the Devices screen you can view both network-discovered devices and devices added manually, and you can

access these devices within three categories:

• Grouped Devices tab (default view)—Devices that have been gathered into physical (Datacenter, Enclosure,

Room, Aisle, Rack, and individual device) and logical (custom) hierarchical groupings.

• Unassigned Devices tab—Devices that have not been assigned to any physical or custom groups.

• All Devices tab—A flat list of all devices (both grouped and unassigned) discovered by Dell OpenManage Power

Center.

The top half of the screen shows either the hierarchy (Grouped and Unassigned Devices tabs) or a flat (Unassigned

Devices tab) view, while the bottom portion of the screen displays detailed information about the device or group

selected in the top portion.
