Table 10. CMC Interfaces (continued)
Interface Description
WinRM tool sets a default response timeout of 60 seconds for all WSMan commands it sends
out. WinRM does not allow varying this timeout interval.
Using “winrm set winrm/config @{MaxTimeoutms ="80000"}” does not change the timeout
due to a bug in the WinRM tool. Therefore, it is recommended that WinRM is not used for
commands that may take more than one minute to complete execution.
The use of libraries that create SOAP-XML packets is recommended since users can configure
the timeout duration using these libraries.
For client connection using Microsoft WinRM, the minimum required version is 2.0. For more
information, refer to the Microsoft article, <support.microsoft.com/kb/968929>.
NOTE: The default values of CMC user name and password are root and calvin respectively.
Launching CMC Using Other Systems Management Tools
You can also launch CMC from the Dell Server Administrator or Dell OpenManage Essentials.
To access CMC interface using Dell Server Administrator, launch Server Administrator on your management station. In the left pane of the
Server Administrator home page, click System > Main System Chassis > Remote Access Controller. For more information, see the
Dell Server Administrator User’s Guide at dell.com/support/manuals.

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 Dell Rack
System). 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.
You can view the chassis name while logging in to CMC using SSH, by selecting Show Chassis Name in SSH Prompt. By default,
the Show Chassis Name in SSH Prompt option is cleared.
NOTE:
The Chassis Location field is optional. 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.
