In the realm of Apple environments, managing physical devices such as external drives, printers, and other peripherals is crucial for maintaining productivity and ensuring seamless integration. This article will guide you through the essential steps to manage these devices on macOS, highlighting the tools and commands that can help you achieve this efficiently. While macOS does not use the term "Dispositivo+Físico" directly, the concepts are applicable through its device management capabilities.

Examples:

1. Connecting and Managing External Drives:

   • Mounting an External Drive: To mount an external drive, macOS usually does this automatically. However, if you need to do it manually, you can use the diskutil command.

     diskutil list

     This command lists all the connected disks. Identify your external drive from the list, then mount it using:

     diskutil mountDisk /dev/disk2

     Replace /dev/disk2 with the identifier of your external drive.

   • Ejecting an External Drive:

     diskutil eject /dev/disk2

     This safely ejects the external drive.

2. Managing Printers:

   • Adding a Printer: You can add a printer using the lpadmin command.

     lpadmin -p Printer_Name -E -v ipp://printer_ip_address -P /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/Printer_Driver.ppd

     Replace Printer_Name, printer_ip_address, and Printer_Driver.ppd with your printer's details.

   • Listing Installed Printers:

     lpstat -p

     This command lists all installed printers.

3. Monitoring System Hardware:

   • Using System Information: The system_profiler command provides detailed information about your Mac's hardware.

     system_profiler SPHardwareDataType

     This command gives a summary of your hardware configuration.

   • Checking Battery Status: For MacBooks, you can check the battery status using:

     pmset -g batt

     This command shows the current battery charge and status.
