2.19.3 Power delivery devices

A power delivery device is a physical resource that delivers power from the data center service entrance to the rack components. You create the power distribution device objects to describe the power source for one or more components in the rack. Power delivery devices can include power feeds, breaker panels, branch circuits, PDUs, outlet bars, outlets, and UPS devices.

For a complete list of power delivery devices, see the screen details online help for the Power Delivery Devices screen.

2.19.4 Unmanaged devices

An unmanaged device is a physical resource that is located in a rack or consumes power but is not currently managed by the appliance. Some unmanaged devices are unsupported devices that cannot be managed by the appliance.

By adding unmanaged devices to racks, you can obtain a more complete analysis of space, power, and cooling in the data center, and you can use the appliance to view hardware inventory information about these devices.
