Users Guide

The slot name setting does not extend to the optional iKVM. The slot name information is available
through the iKVM FRU.
The slot name setting in the CMC Web interface always overrides any change you make to the display
name in the iDRAC interface.
To edit a slot name using the CMC Web interface:
1. In the system tree, go to Chassis Overview → Server Overview and then click Setup → Slot Names.
The
Slot Names page is displayed.
2. In the Slot Name field, edit the slot name. Repeat this step for each slot you want to rename.
3. To use the host name of the server as slot name, select Use Host Name for Slot Name option. This
option replaces the static slot names with the host names (or system names) of the server, if it is
available.
NOTE: To use the Use Host Name for Slot Name, you must install OMSA agent on the server.
For more details on the OMSA agent, see the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator User's
Guide.
4. To use the iDRAC DNS name as slot name, select Use iDRAC DNS Name for Slot Name option. This
option replaces the static slot names with the respective iDRAC DNS names, if it is available. If iDRAC
DNS names are not available, the default or edited slot names are displayed.
NOTE: To use the Use iDRAC DNS Name for Slot Name option, you must have the Chassis
Configuration Administrator privilege.
5. Click Apply to save the settings.
6. To restore the default slot name (SLOT-01 to SLOT-16, based on the server's slot position) to the
server, click
Restore Default Value.
Configuring iDRAC Network Settings
You can configure installed or newly inserted server's iDRAC network configuration settings. A user can
configure one or more installed iDRAC devices. The user can also configure the default iDRAC network
configuration settings and root password for severs that are installed later; these default settings are the
iDRAC QuickDeploy settings.
For more information about iDRAC, see the iDRAC User’s Guide at dell.com/support/manuals.
