categorized by component type. When you expand the main object — Modular Enclosure — System/Server Module — the

major categories of system components that may appear are, Main System Chassis/Main System, Software, and Storage.

If Storage Management Service is installed, depending on the controller and storage attached to the system, the Storage tree

object expands to display various objects.

For detailed information on the Storage Management Service component, see the Storage Management User's Guide at dell.com/

Server Administrator Home Page System Tree Objects

This section provides information about the objects in the System tree on the Server Administrator's home page. Due to the

• Network Interface — Administrative Status, DMA, Internet Protocol (IP) Address,

• Network Interface — Operational Status

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 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 system’s 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.
