Adding devices
Select a rack and click ‘+’ in the Device list.
The popup dialog shows all the devices that do not exist in the current hierarchy. Select the devices you want to add to the rack, and then click OK.
Click the name of the device in the ‘Device List’ page, and then you can go to the Hierarchy page of the selected device directly.
You may also add a new device to a rack by navigating to the ‘Add New Device’ tab in the popup dialog, and specifying the information of the device as described in Adding a Device Manually.
If you do not specify ‘Size of Device’ and ‘De-rated Power’, default values (1 for ‘Size of Device’ and 400 for ‘De-rated Power’) are set for the server after you click OK. Default values for various device types are different.
Please make sure to fill the right device location and size when adding or moving the device in Energy Manager. Or else, the device may not be displayed well in the visualized rack. In order to make this smooth, there is no strict checking in Energy Manager. For example, there is no error message prompted when the specified device size exceeds the rack size.
Energy Manager may use the different device identifiers to manage devices with IPMI protocol and HTTPS protocol. Sometimes the device has been managed with IPMI protocol in Energy Manager, you may add it again with HTTPS protocol. When you meet this case, you may remove the duplicate device instance from Energy Manager to avoid to waste the license.
