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.

Configuring LEDs to Identify Components on the Chassis

You can enable the LEDs of components (chassis, servers, 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.

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.

– Chassis Overview → Server Overview → Troubleshooting.

NOTE: Only servers can be selected on this page.

To enable blinking of a component LED, select the respective component , and then click Blink. To

disable blinking of a component LED, deselect the server, and then click Unblink.

Configuring LED Blinking Using RACADM

Open a serial/Telnet/SSH text console to CMC, log in, and type:

racadm setled -m <module> [-l <ledState>], where <module> specifies the module whose

LED you want to configure. Configuration options:

• server-n where n = 1-4 (PowerEdge FM120x4), and server-nx where n = 1–4 and x = a to b

(PowerEdge FC630).

• switch-1

• cmc-active

and <ledState> specifies whether or not the LED should blink. Configuration options:

• 0 — not blinking (default)

• 1 — blinking

Configuring CMC Properties

You can configure CMC properties such as power budgeting, network settings, users, and SNMP and

email alerts using the web interface or RACADM commands.
