Hardware product profiles

You can get additional details about a hardware product by selecting the product in the hardware product inventory and then clicking on the Profile button in the command bar. Another way to launch the hardware product profile is to click on the product's name in other profiles such as device profiles.

The hardware product profile is shown in a new browser window. The following is a sample hardware product profile for a Siemens Scalance X204-2 network switch.

In a hardware product profile you see the following sections that can be expanded and collapsed by clicking on the section's "+" or "-" button:

• Header: The product name, vendor, and version. If set, there may also be a picture, such as a product photo.
