The operation status, slot number, slot name, and model name is displayed for each server in the Apply

Profile table.

NOTE: If a server does not support Lifecycle Controller or the chassis is turned off, you cannot apply

a profile to the server.

To apply a profile to one or more servers:

1. Go to the Server Profiles page. In the Save and Apply Profiles section, select the server or servers for

which you want to apply the selected profile.

The Select Profile drop-down menu gets enabled.

NOTE: The Select Profile drop-down menu displays all available profiles and sorted by type,

including those that are on the repository and SD card.

2. From the Select Profile drop-down menu, select the profile that you want to apply.

The Apply Profile option gets enabled.

3. Click Apply Profile.

A warning message is displayed that applying a new server profile overwrites the current settings and

also reboots the selected servers. You are prompted to confirm if you want to continue the

operation.

NOTE: To perform server cloning operations on servers, the CSIOR option must be enabled for

the servers. If CSIOR option is disabled, a warning message is displayed that CSIOR is not

enabled for the servers. To complete the blade cloning operation, make sure to enable CSIOR

option on the servers.

4. Click OK to apply the profile to the selected server.

The selected profile is applied to the servers and the servers may be rebooted immediately, if

necessary. For more information, see the CMC for Dell PowerEdge FX2/FX2s Online Help.
