Dell 8.1 Server User Manual


 
Modular Enclosure
NOTE: For the purposes of Server Administrator, modular enclosure refers to a system that may
contain one or more modular systems that appear as a separate Server Module in the system tree.
Like a stand-alone Server Module, a modular enclosure contains all of the essential components of
a system. The only difference is that there are slots for at least two Server Modules within a larger
container, and each of them is as complete a system as a Server Module.
To view the modular system’s chassis information and Chassis Management Controller (CMC)
information, click the Modular Enclosure object.
Tab: Properties
Subtab : Information
Under the Properties tab, you can:
View the chassis information for the modular system being monitored.
View detailed Chassis Management Controller (CMC) information for the modular system being
monitored.
Accessing And Using Chassis Management Controller
To launch the Chassis Management Controller Log in window from the Server Administrator home page:

You can monitor and manage your modular enclosure after connecting to the CMC.
