# Edit the properties of a rack

Using the Racks screen, you can edit the properties of a rack (name, thermal limit, serial number, and dimensions) and the layout of the devices in the rack. To edit your rack layout, see Change the layout of devices in a rack.

| NOTE: Do not edit the Name value of racks discovered when you added an enclosure, the enclosure OA specifies the rack name. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends you change the name of these racks using the enclosure OA. See Change the name of a rack for more information. If you change the name of a rack that has its name defined by the enclosure OA, the name will revert the next time the appliance reads the SCMB (State-Change Message Bus).
