Viewing chassis and component summaries

When you log in to the CMC web interface, the Chassis Health page displays the health of the chassis and its components. It displays a

graphical view of the chassis and its components. It is dynamically updated, and the component subgraphic overlays and text hints are

automatically changed to reflect the current state.

To view the chassis health, click Chassis Overview. The system displays the overall health status of the chassis, CMC, server modules,

IO Modules (IOM), fans, power supply units (PSUs), storage sleds, and PCIe devices. Detailed information about each component is

displayed when you click that component. In addition, the latest events in the CMC Hardware Log are also displayed. For more

information, see the Dell Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) User’s Guide.

If your chassis is configured as a Group Lead, the Group Health page is displayed after login. It displays the chassis level information and

alerts. All active, critical, and non-critical alerts are displayed.

Chassis graphics

The chassis is represented by the front, back, and the top views—the upper and lower images respectively. Servers, and KVMs are shown

in the front view and the remaining components are shown in the back view. A blue cast indicates the component selection and is

controlled by clicking the image of the required component. When a component is present in the chassis, an icon of the component type is

displayed in the graphics in the position (slot), where the component has been installed. Empty positions are shown with a charcoal gray

background. The component icon visually indicates the state of the component. Other components display icons that visually represent

the physical component. Pausing the cursor over a component displays a tool tip with additional information about that component.
