The idea is that you create Device classes as an organizer and then
you associate a performance template with that Device Class. For
example, you would create a Device Class named:
/Network/Firewall/Cisco/PIX
And then you'd create a Device performance template and associate it
with the /Network/FirewallCisco/PIX. In the performance template you
define exactly what OIDs you are interested in collecting, as well as
thresholds and graphs.
Then you add devices and place them in the /Network/Firewall/Cisco/
PIX Device class and your done.
If you decide at a later point that there is another OID you are
interested in monitoring you add it to the performance template
associated with /Network/Firewall/Cisco/PIX and all the devices in
that class automatically pick it up.

You can create custom device classes with the field at the bottom
of the sub-devices table. (Which should really be called Sub
Device Classes.) Enter the name of the new class in the field to
the left of the Add button, then hit Add.
It is common for users add device classes to group hardware by
manufacturer, os, etc. The ones that come pre-built are not meant
to be exhaustive, they're just some of the most common groupings to
get you started.

What if there is no appropriate device class for the equipment we
have?
For example, we have a bunch of cyclades alterpath devices in the
data center to manage power and serial port access for our servers
What we were hoping was that we would be able to add those devices
and monitor the status of the power and console ports
possible?
It doesn't seem to work right out of the box
