Adding devices to racks

• Cant add device to rack? You can only attach it to the top, bottom or sides?
• This could be because the device hardware model came in as “unknown”. 
• To add this device to the rack you would need to go to the device details page. Resources > Compute > All Devices. Select the device you want to rack.
• Click on the device name > Edit. Change the type to “Physical” > change the physical subtype away from “Generic” Non-rackable.
• Next click on the magnifying glass with the +. 
• We will then define our hardware model. Name the hardware > Size > Depth > Width. You can also add part#, Watts, Vendor, images and EOL/EOS information. 
• Click Save
• Click save on the Device details page
• Go to Infrastructure > Racks > select the rack and click “Show” under layout > Edit
• Now that editing is enabled you can search for the device > click and drag.
