# Change the layout of devices in a rack

To take advantage of the analysis and management features for your rack environment, the layout of your racks in the appliance should represent your actual rack configuration. Edit the layout of your racks to match the physical placement of the enclosures, server hardware, power delivery devices, and unmanaged devices they contain.
