Users Guide

Managing system or server module tree objects
The Server Administrator system or server module tree displays all visible system objects based on the software and hardware groups that
Server Administrator discovers on the managed system and on the user's access privileges. The system components are 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/
openmanagemanuals.
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 limitations of

NOTE
: Server Administrator always displays the date in < mm/dd/yyyy > format.
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 congurable. 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 dierence 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.
