Using the CMC Web Interface 135
Editing Slot Names
The Slot Names page allows you to update slot names in the chassis. Slot
names are used to identify individual servers. When choosing slot names, the
following rules apply:
• Names may contain a maximum of 15 non-extended ASCII characters
(ASCII codes 32 through 126).
• Slot names must be unique within the chassis. No two slots may have the
same name.
• Strings are not case-sensitive.
Server-1 , server-1 , and SERVER-1
are equivalent names.
• Slot names must not begin with the following strings:
• Switch-
• Fan-
• PS-
• KVM
• DRAC-
• MC-
• Chassis
• Housing-Left
• Housing-Right
• Housing-Center
• The strings Server-1 through Server-16 may be used, but only for
the corresponding slot. For example,
Server-3 is a valid name for slot 3,
but not for slot 4. Note that
Server-03 is a valid name for any slot.
NOTE: To change a slot name, you must have Chassis Configuration Administrator
privilege.
NOTE: The slot name setting in the Web interface resides on CMC only. If a server
is removed from the chassis, the slot name setting does not remain with the server.
NOTE: The slot name setting does not extend to the optional iKVM. The slot name
information is available through the iKVM FRU.
NOTE: The slot name setting in the CMC Web interface always overrides any
change you make to the display name in the iDRAC interface.
