Installation Manual

Blade enclosures and BL server-specific data
• Bay Number—The server bay in the enclosure.
• Enclosure UUID—The enclosure universally unique identifier.
• Enclosure U Height—The enclosure height, in U rack units. Possible values are between
1.00 and 50.00.
• Enclosure Rack U Position—The rack U position that aligns with the base of the enclosure.
Possible values are between 1 and 50.
SL and XL server-specific data:
• Bay Number—The server bay in the enclosure.
• Chassis UUID—The chassis universally unique identifier.
• Chassis U Height—The chassis height, in U rack units. Possible values are between 1.00
and 50.00.
• Chassis Rack U Position—The rack U position that aligns with the base of the chassis.
Possible values are between 1 and 50.
Location Discovery Services
Location Discovery Services is a component of HPE Discovery Services. Location Discovery
Services automatically reports server locations to HPE SIM and Insight Control, eliminating this
manual task for server administrators. Administrators can use the location information and system
data with HPE Asset Manager to obtain more precise and complete asset data.
Location Discovery Services is a rack U location discovery solution for G3 and later racks. It
enables iLO, OA, and the chassis firmware to report and display the rack ID and the server U
position in the rack. Supported racks are programmed with unique U values in 7U and/or 8U
modules, and are installed with the tag version number, rack identifier, part number, product
name, rack height, and U position. Location Discovery Services supports 14U, 22U, 36U, 42U,
and 47U racks.
The rack device reads the rack U location tag each time iLO receives AC power or iLO is reset.
The U position value denotes the U position read by the device. The contact position offset is a
fixed value for each model that indicates the position of the contact relative to the bottom U
position of the device. It is normally 0, but can be a positive value when the contact cannot be
placed at the bottom U position of the device. The bottom-most U position occupied by the device
is calculated by subtracting the U offset from the U position.
This feature and many others are part of a licensing package. For more information, see the

Using the HPE Insight Management Agents
The Insight Management Agents support a browser interface for access to run-time management
data through the HPE System Management Homepage. The System Management Homepage
is a secure web-based interface that consolidates and simplifies the management of individual
servers and operating systems.
By aggregating data from the Insight Management Agents and other management tools, the
System Management Homepage provides an intuitive interface to review the following:
• In-depth hardware configuration and status data
• Performance metrics
• System thresholds
• Software version control information
