Find Devices
This section will show how to scan for iDRAC6/iDRAC7 controllers to quickly add them into Power Center; this saves time in
deployment and also removes the human error factor in asset control and system data collection. There are some basic steps to add
devices into Power Center:
• Use the discovery page in Power Center to add devices for power monitoring and control
• Configure the search criteria used to scan for the devices that you want to discover
• The end result is a conclusive list of devices found on the Device List page
