All devices connected to an HP Intelligent Power Distribution Unit (iPDU) using an HP Intelligent Power Discovery (IPD) connection are added to the appliance as unmanaged devices:

If a device is supported for management by the appliance, you can add that device to the appliance.

If a device is not supported for management by the appliance, you can include that device in power, cooling, and space planning by leaving it in the list of unsupported devices.

Other devices that do not support IPD—such as KVM switches, routers, in-rack monitors and keyboards—are not added to the list of unmanaged devices automatically. To include these devices in the appliance, you can add them manually and describe their names, rack positions, and power requirements.
