# Add a rack

When you add a rack, HPE ProLiant Servers mounted in HPE Intelligent Series Racks are automatically grouped in racks in the proper positions. The rack serial number provides the initial rack names. This applies to BladeSystem Enclosures that provide HPE Intelligent Series Racks as well. If iPDUs (Intelligent Power Distribution Units) are powering devices in a rack, the appliance infers that they are present in the rack and automatically adds them to the rack layout.
