Configuring Slot Names

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).

Also standard, and special characters are allowed in the names.

• 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.

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.
