The M1000e chassis LCD shows extensive information about the status of each hardware module,
network information for the CMC and each iDRAC, and status messages with detailed explanations in
plain language. Users may access a wide variety of information about modules using the panel,
including their type, user-defined name, configurations, service tag numbers, and IP address
information. The LCD panel can be retracted into the chassis body, or extended and angled once
deployed for full visibility no matter where the M1000e is mounted in the rack.
