Onboard an FDM-Managed Device using the Device's Serial Number

This procedure is a simplified method of setting up and onboarding the FDM-managed devices to CDO. All you need is the chassis serial number or PCA serial number of the device. You can apply a smart license or use a 90-day evaluation license when onboarding the device.

Ensure that you read through the use cases to understand the concepts before you perform the onboarding steps.

Important

These methods of onboarding FDM-managed devices are only available for devices running version 6.7 or higher.

Use Cases

Important

If you want to use this method to onboard a device running on an older software version that is supported for your device, you need to perform a fresh installation (reimage) of the software on that device instead of an upgrade.
