This page lists all host container (blade enclosure) hardware reference data included in the Extended Data Pack 2021-January-1. The list comprises of data for:

• 2 vendors
• 3 models

How Hardware Reference Data Can Help You

You can use BMC Discovery and hardware reference data to:

• Identify blade enclosures that can be expanded in situations where space is a constraining factor in the data center
• Identify blade enclosure refresh / rationalization candidates in situations where cooling is a constraining factor in the data center
• Identify blade enclosure refresh / rationalization candidates in situations where power is a constraining factor in the data center

Hardware Reference Data Dashboard

A Hardware Reference Data Dashboard can be selected using the Dashboard menu on BMC Discovery Home Page.

Hardware Reference Data Terminology

• Rack Unit (RU) - the size of the hardware
• Power Capacity (VA) - the input power capacity measured in Volt Amperes
• Power Capacity (W) - the input power capacity measured in Watts
• BTU per hour - thermal output measured in BTUs
• Power Capacity VA per RU - the input power capacity measured in Volt Amperes, per Rack Unit
• Power Capacity W per RU - the input power capacity measured in Watts, per Rack Unit
• BTU per hour per RU - thermal output measured in BTUs, per Rack Unit
