   NOTE: For chassis, the Discover using WS-Man/Redfish check box is selected by default. Implies that the chassis can be discovered by using either of these two protocols. The M1000e, CMC VRTX, and FX2 chassis support the WS-Man commands. The MX7000 chassis supports Redfish protocol.

2. Enter username and password of the server to be detected.
3. In the Connection Settings section:
   1. In the Retries box, enter the number of repeated attempts that must be made to discover a server.
   2. In the Timeout box, enter the time after which a job must stop running.
