This chapter describes how to add and delete units in the Rack Power Manager management
software.
Adding Units
You may add:
• A single managed appliance
• Multiple managed appliances based on a range of IP addresses
• A generic appliance
When a managed appliance is added, Rack Power Manager software administrator, user
administrator and appliance administrator privileges are automatically assigned to the managed
appliance. A user with any of these privileges may:
• Reboot a managed appliance and disconnect sessions
• Administer local user accounts on the managed appliance
• Control outlet power
Appliance administrators and Rack Power Manager software administrators may also Flash
upgrade a managed appliance and configure settings for a managed appliance.
Managed appliance rights may be changed. See About Access Rights on page 143.
The applicable X.509 certificate is automatically copied from the Rack Power Manager software
to the unit being added. A certificate is a unique identifier of an individual managed appliance.
(EVR1500 environmental monitors and generic appliances do not support certificates and may be
added to multiple Rack Power Manager software systems.)
