Bug Description
I was trying to add some m400 cartridges to MAAS, but it wasn't clear to me which power type I needed. There are 2 power types that seem to meet the description: "Moonshot HP iLO Chassis Manager" and "iLO 4 Moonshot Chassis". Turns out I needed the "Moonshot HP iLO Chassis Manager". Can this distinction be clarified in the UI?

I think I understand the correct usage myself - basically "iLO 4 Moonshot Chassis" can be used for chassis that will only include x86 cartridges and will support the "boot-node-
I understand that we need to retain "iLO 4 Moonshot Chassis" for upgrades - but it seems like "Moonshot HP iLO Chassis Manager" will work in a superset of the cases that "iLO 4 Moonshot Chassis" provides, and doesn't require as much admin intervention (manual boot-to-enlist). My recommendation would be to clarify these descriptions and deprecate the x86-only mechanism but continue to support it for backwards compatibility.
This rename would have clarified things for me:
iLO 4 Moonshot Chassis -> iLO 4 Moonshot Chassis (x86-only, deprecated)
