rack PDUs that provide power to the rack, and their physical position in the rack or on either side.
You can also describe how the devices in the rack are connected to those PDUs.

NOTE:

The default rack height is 42U. When the appliance discovers an HP Intelligent Series

Rack, it sets the rack height to 42U if there is no managed server hardware above slot 42. If an
HP Intelligent Series Rack contains server hardware above slot 42, the appliance sets the rack
height to the highest slot that contains managed server hardware. If you add server hardware to
a higher slot later, the appliance adjusts the rack height automatically.

After adding a rack to the appliance for management, you can add the rack to a data center to
visualize the data center layout and to monitor device power and cooling data.

After the rack is under management, you can configure the power delivery topology with redundant
and uninterruptible power supplies to the devices in the rack.

Rack naming

The way a rack is named and how you change the name of a rack depends on how it was added
