NOTE: Administrator or Power User privileges are required to view many of the system tree objects, system components,
action tabs, and data area features that are configurable. Additionally, only users logged in with Administrator privileges can
access critical system features such as the shutdown functionality included under the Shutdown tab.
Modular Enclosure
NOTE:
For the purposes of Server Administrator, modular enclosure refers to a system that may contain one or more
modular systems that appear as a separate Server Module in the system tree. Like a stand-alone Server Module, a modular
enclosure contains all of the essential components of a system. The only difference is that there are slots for at least two
Server Modules within a larger container, and each of them is as complete a system as a Server Module.
To view the modular systems chassis information and Chassis Management Controller (CMC) information, click the Modular
Enclosure object.
Tab: Properties
Subtab : Information
Under the Properties tab, you can:
View the chassis information for the modular system being monitored.
View detailed Chassis Management Controller (CMC) information for the modular system being monitored.
Accessing And Using Chassis Management Controller
To launch the Chassis Management Controller Log in window from the Server Administrator home page:
1. Click the Modular Enclosure object
2. Click the CMC Information tab, and then click Launch the CMC Web Interface. The CMC Log in window appears.
You can monitor and manage your modular enclosure after connecting to the CMC.
