Owners Manual

To select a slot, click the visual representation of the sled in the Chassis View. When a slot is selected, a

yellow rectangular box is displayed around the sled. If you select a slot occupied by a PowerEdge FC420

or FC620 sled, the device inventory information is displayed under the Chassis View. If you select a slot

occupied by a PowerEdge FM120x4 sled, the device summary is displayed under the Chassis View. To

view the device inventory information, click a device in the device summary.

NOTE: The inventory information of a sled is displayed only if the sled is discovered using the

appropriate protocol.

NOTE: If the sled is selected in the device tree, the Chassis View is not displayed. To display the

Chassis View, click the PowerEdge FX chassis in the device tree.

Overlays

If a slot is occupied and the sled is discovered, by default, the health status of the sled is overlaid in the

Chassis View. The following are the available overlay options and their descriptions.

Overlay Option Overlay Color Device Status

Health Status Red Warning

Yellow Critical

Light gray Unknown

Connection Status Dark gray Off (disconnected)

No overlay On (connected)

None No overlay Not applicable

NOTE: The health and connection status require that the sled is discovered. If a sled is not

discovered or the status of the sled is unknown, the health and connection status are displayed as

normal.

The health status of the Dell PowerEdge FM120x4 sled reflects the health status of the server node with

least critical severity. For example, if one server node is in a Warning state and the remaining server

nodes are in a Critical state, the sled displays Critical status.

NOTE: The Chassis Management at Server Mode option of the PowerEdge FX chassis can be used

to configure rack style management. If rack style management is disabled on a PowerEdge FX

chassis, the health status roll-up of the chassis is not updated in OpenManage Essentials. Also, alerts

generated from the PSU and fan are not received in OpenManage Essentials.

Right-Click Actions

Right-click a Dell PowerEdge FC420 or FC620 sled to display the same actions as displayed when you

right-click the sled in the device tree.

NOTE: Right-click actions are not available for the PowerEdge FM120x4 sled.

Navigation Trail

The navigation trail is displayed as a link under the Chassis View and indicates the currently selected

device. You can click a device name in the navigation trail to go back to the CMC inventory.
