Setting date and time on CMC

You can manually set the date and time, or you can synchronize the date and time with a Network Time

Protocol (NTP) server.

Setting date and time on CMC using CMC web interface

To set the date and time on CMC:

1. In the left pane, click Chassis Overview → Setup → Date/Time.

2. To synchronize the date and time with a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server, on the Date/Time

page, select Enable NTP and specify up to three NTP servers. To manually set the date and time,

clear the

Enable NTP option, and then edit the Date and Time fields.

3. Select the Time Zone from the drop-down menu, and then click Apply.

Setting date and time on CMC using RACADM

To set the date and time using the command line interface, see the config command and

cfgRemoteHosts database property group sections in the Chassis Management Controller for

PowerEdge FX2/FX2s RACADM Command Line Reference Guide

available at dell.com/support/manuals.

For example racadm setractime -l 20140207111030.

To read the date and time use racadm getractime command.

Configuring LEDs to identify components on the chassis

You can enable the LEDs of components (chassis, servers, storage sleds, and I/O Modules) to blink so that

you can identify the component on the chassis.

NOTE: To modify these settings, you must have the Debug Administrator privilege on a CMC.

When a compute sled is performing an identify action, the front LED of the connected storage sled also

flashes the identify pattern. If a storage sled is in split-single mode and is connected to two compute

nodes, it shall flash the identify pattern if either of the two compute nodes is performing an identify

action.

If you start an identify action using OMSS or iDRAC for a compute sled, drive or enclosure, the storage

sled associated with them also performs the identify action.

NOTE: You cannot select only storage sleds for an identify action.

Configuring LED blinking using CMC web interface

To enable blinking for one, multiple, or all component LEDs:

• In the left pane, go to any of the following pages:

– Chassis Overview → Troubleshooting.

– Chassis Overview → Chassis Controller → Troubleshooting.
