IPv4 and IPv6 network protocols
The Rack Power Manager software is a dual stack host that simultaneously supports both IPv4
and IPv6 network protocols.
NOTE: IPv6 is not supported by all appliance models. See the corresponding product or plug-in documentation for
a list of specific appliance models that support IPv6.
Wizards that add units
In a Units View window, clicking Add invokes a wizard that guides you through the process of
adding managed appliances and target devices to the Rack Power Manager software system.
The units that are visible in the current Units View window determines which wizard will be
invoked when you click Add.
• If you are in the Appliances - All window, you can add managed appliances of any type.
You cannot add target devices from that window.
• If you are in the Units View window for a specific appliance type (such as PDUs -
PM3000), you can only add more appliances of that type (PM3000 PDUs). You cannot add
appliances of any other type or any target devices.
• If you are in the Recently Accessed window, you can add a managed appliance.
When a unit is added to the Rack Power Manager software database, it is also added to the
current Units View. For example, if you are viewing units in the department named Accounting
and click Add, the newly added unit will automatically be added to the Accounting
department.
Adding a single managed appliance
To add a single managed appliance:
1. In a Units View window containing managed appliances (see Accessing Units View
windows on page 111), click Add. The Add Appliance Wizard opens.
2. If you were not in an appliance type Units View window when you clicked Add in the
first step, the Select Appliance Type window opens. Select Add a single appliance by type,
then select a managed appliance from the product list. Click Next.
If you were in an appliance type Units View window when you clicked Add in the
first step, go to the next step.

If the appliance has already been configured with this IP address, click Next.
