Assign the Assembly to a Cluster

Assign the assembly to a cluster. If no cluster is assigned, the assembly will be set to the status On-Stock. This means the hardware setup cannot be used because it is assumed that it's currently not connected to a server rack.

A cluster is a server rack with network connections, server connections, and a central power supply unit that hosts multiple assemblies.
