Setting chassis physical location and chassis name
You can set the chassis location in a data center and the chassis name to identify the chassis on the network (default name is
cmc-“Service Tag”). For example, an SNMP query on the chassis name returns the name you configure.
Setting chassis physical location and chassis name using web interface
To set the chassis location and chassis name using the CMC web interface:
1. In the left pane, go to Chassis Overview, and then click Setup.
2. On the General Chassis Settings page, type the location properties and the chassis name. For more information about
setting chassis properties, see the CMC Online Help.
NOTE: The Chassis Location field is optional. It is recommended to use the Data Center, Aisle, Rack, and Rack Slot
fields to indicate the physical location of the chassis.
3. Click Apply. The settings are saved.
Setting chassis physical location and chassis name using RACADM
To set the chassis name, location, date, and time by using the command line interface, see the setsysinfo and setchassisname
commands.
For example racadm setsysinfo —c chassisname or racadm setsysinfo —c chassislocation
For more information, see the Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge FX2/FX2s RACADM Command Line Reference
Guide.
