NOTE: To change a slot name, you must have Chassis Conguration 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.

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 eld, 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 Conguration Administrator

privilege.

5 Click Apply to save the settings.

6 To restore the default slot name (SLOT-01 to SLOT-16, based on the slot position of the server) to the server, click Restore Default

Value.

Conguring iDRAC Network Settings

You can congure installed or newly inserted server's iDRAC network conguration settings. A user can congure one or more installed

iDRAC devices. The user can also congure the default iDRAC network conguration 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.
