Slot Resource Assignment/Management
Slot Resource Assignment/Management is used to map or un-map an individual PCIe device to a
server slot. It also supports mapping a Virtual Adapter to any of the servers.
Server Configuration/Cloning
The Server Configuration feature enables the ability to configure the BIOS, Boot Settings, and iDRAC
configuration using the nodes interfaces, and then save the configuration to the CMC such that it can
be restored or cloned to other servers. This speeds up the deployment of new servers being installed
in the chassis. The clone file is in an XML format, and may be edited by the administration to meet
the requirements.
The Server Configuration feature also enables the One-to-Many Configuration for iDRAC
functionality, which allows the administrator to select the Auto-Populate Using QuickDeploy
Settings option to populate the iDRAC Network Settings section, and then click Apply iDRAC Network
Settings to apply the setting changes to the listed iDRACs. To configure server network settings on
one or more individual iDRACs, type or select values for the following properties, and then click
Apply iDRAC Network Settings.
Slot
Displays the slot number where the server is installed in the
chassis. Slot numbers are sequential IDs, from 1 to 4 (for the 4
slots in the chassis), that help identify the location of the server in
the chassis.
NOTE: Only those slots populated by servers display a slot
number.
Name
Displays the name of the server in each slot.
NOTE: The slot name cannot be blank or NULL.

• W: In Watt. Automatically calculated during the runtime and displayed in the box.
• BTU/h: British Thermal Unit For example, 16719.
• %: Type a value that indicates the actual percentage of power input versus the maximum
power that can be supplied.
