Icon Description No server is present. Selected Component Information Information for the selected component is displayed in three independent sections: • Health and Performance and Properties - Displays the active critical and non-critical events as shown by the hardware logs and the performance data that vary with time. • Properties - Displays the component properties that do not vary with time or change only infrequently. • Quick Links - Provides links to navigate to the most frequently accessed pages, and also the most frequently performed actions. Only links applicable to the selected component are displayed in this section. Viewing Server Model Name and Service Tag You can view the model name and service tag of each server instantly using the following steps: 1. Expanding Servers in the System tree. All the servers (1-16) appear in the expanded Servers list. A slot without a server has its name grayed out. 2. Using the cursor to hover over the slot name or slot number of a server; a tool tip is displayed with the server's model name and service tag (if available). Viewing Chassis Summary You can view the summary of the installed components in the chassis. To view the chassis summary information, in the CMC Web interface, go to Chassis Overview → Properties → Summary . The Chassis Summary page is displayed. For more information, see the CMC Online Help. Viewing Chassis Controller Information and Status To view the chassis controller information and status, in the CMC Web interface, go to Chassis Overview → Chassis Controller → Properties → Status. The Chassis Controller Status page is displayed. For more information, see the CMC Online Help. Viewing Information and Health Status of All Servers To view the health status of all the servers, do any of the following: 1. Go to Chassis Overview → Properties → Health . The Chassis Health page displays a graphical overview of all the servers installed in the chassis. Server health status is indicated by the overlay of the server subgraphic. For more information, see the CMC Online Help. 2. Go to Chassis Overview → Server Overview → Properties → Status. 59
