Although data has been imported from the AlterPath Manager to the Rack Power Manager
software system, the units are not yet compatible with the Rack Power Manager software. To
complete the configuration and import process, you must use the Migrate Units task. When
creating the Migrate Units task, it is recommend that you select Enable Secure Mode for the
units.
