Viewing the iKVM Status
The local access KVM module for your Dell M1000e server chassis is
called the Avocent
®
Integrated KVM Switch Module, or iKVM.
The health status of the iKVM associated with the chassis can be viewed
on the Chassis Graphics page.
To view health status for the iKVM using Chassis Graphics:
1
Log in to the CMC Web interface.
2 The Chassis Status page is displayed. The right section of Chassis
Graphics
depicts the rear view of the chassis and contains the health
status of the iKVM. iKVM health status is indicated by the color of
the iKVM subgraphic:
• Green - iKVM is present, powered on and communicating with the
CMC; there is no indication of an adverse condition.
• Amber - iKVM is present, but may or may not be powered on, or may
or may not be communicating with the CMC; an adverse condition
may exist.
• Gray - iKVM is present and not powered on. It is not communicating
with the CMC and there is no indication of an adverse condition.
3 Use the cursor to hover over the iKVM subgraphic and a corresponding
text hint or screen tip is displayed. The text hint provides additional
information on that iKVM.
4 The iKVM subgraphic is hyperlinked to the corresponding CMC GUI page
to provide immediate navigation to the
iKVM Status page.
