2.5 Server hardware types
A server hardware type captures details about the physical configuration of server hardware, and
defines which settings are available to the server profiles assigned to that type of server hardware.
For example, the server hardware type for the HP ProLiant BL460c Gen8 Server Blade includes a
complete set of default BIOS settings for that server blade hardware configuration.
When you add an enclosure to the appliance, the appliance detects the servers installed in the
enclosure and creates a server hardware type for each unique server configuration it discovers.
When you add a unique rack mount server model, the appliance creates a new server hardware
type for that server configuration.
