Recovering and Troubleshooting the Managed Server 293
Identifying the Managed Server in the Chassis
The PowerEdge M1000e chassis holds up to sixteen servers. To locate a
specific server in the chassis, you can use the iDRAC6 Web interface to turn
on a blue flashing LED on the server. When you turn on the LED, you can
specify the number of seconds that you want the LED to flash to ensure that
you can reach the chassis while the LED is still flashing. Entering 0 leaves the
LED flashing until you disable it.
To identify the server:
1
Click System → Remote Access → iDRAC → Troubleshooting .
2 On the Identify screen, check Identify Server .
3 In the Identify Server Timeout field, enter the number of seconds that you
want the LED to blink. Enter
0 if you want the LED to remain flashing
until you disable it.
4 Click Apply.
A blue LED on the server will flash for the number of seconds you specified.
