You can add two classes of power delivery devices to your data center:
- iPDU power delivery devices
When you add an iPDU, the appliance automatically detects the iPDU and all its components (such as HPE Intelligent Load Segments, HPE Intelligent Extension Bars, and HPE Intelligent Outlets) during the device discovery process. It also automatically configures connections to the power supplies on enclosures and servers. To add an iPDU, you must enter iPDU credentials (name and password) before the discovery process begins.
- Non-iPDU power delivery devices
Power delivery devices that the appliance cannot discover are considered unmanaged. Provide configuration information about them before the appliance can add and analyze them. Entering configuration information about these unmanaged devices, ensures more accurate analysis of power capacity, power consumption, and redundancy.
