About Your System
System Overview
Your system can include up to 16 half-height blades (server modules), eight
full-height blades, or a mixture of the two blade types (see Figure 1-1,
Figure 1-2, and Figure 1-3). To function as a system, a blade is inserted into a
enclosure (chassis) that supports power supplies, fan modules, a Chassis
Management Controller (CMC) module, and at least one I/O module for
external network connectivity. The power supplies, fans, CMC, optional
iKVM module, and I/O modules are shared resources of the blades in the
enclosure.

LCD Module Menus
Main Menu
The Main Menu options include links to the Server Menu, the Enclosure
Menu, and the LCD Setup Menu.
LCD Setup Menu
You can change the default language and startup screen for the LCD menu
screens using this menu.
Server Menu
From the Server Menu dialog box, you can highlight each blade in the
enclosure using the arrow keys, and view its status.
A blade that is powered off or booting is designated by a gray rectangle. An
active blade is indicated by a green rectangle. If a blade has errors, this
condition is indicated by an amber rectangle.
To select a blade, highlight it and press the center button. A dialog box
displays the iDRAC IP address of the blade and any errors present.
Enclosure Menu
The Enclosure Menu includes options for Module Status, Enclosure Status,
and IP Summary.
•In the
Module Status
dialog box, you can highlight each component in the
enclosure and view its status.
A module that is powered off or booting is designated by a gray
rectangle. An active module is indicated by a green rectangle. If a
module has errors, it will be indicated by an amber rectangle.
If a module is selected, a dialog box displays the current status of the
module and any errors present.
•In the
Enclosure Status
dialog box, you can view the enclosure status, any
error conditions, and power consumption statistics.
•The
IP Summary
screen shows IP information for the CMC(s), and the
iDRAC of each installed server.

CMC Daisy Chaining (Enclosure Stacking)
CMC daisy chaining can be utilized to minimize the number of network
connections required for chassis (enclosure) management, such that only one
or two network connections (depending on whether or not redundant CMCs
are installled) are needed for up to four M1000e enclosures.
Cabling Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to daisy chain CMC modules from enclosure to
enclosure:
CMC Ethernet port "GB1" is the "Uplink" port. It will uplink to either the
management network, or to receive a cable from the CMC Ethernet port
labeled "STK" in the adjacent enclosure.
The CMC Ethernet port labeled "STK" is the "daisy-chain" port. It will
only
connect to CMC port GB1 on the adjacent enclosure. Do not connect
this cable directly to the management network.
Up to 4 enclosures can be daisy-chained.
Enclosures can be daisy-chained in both redundant and non-redundant
deployments:
In a redundant CMC deployment, cable all CMC modules in the CMC
primary slots together. Cable all CMC modules in the CMC secondary
slots together. Do not connect the primary daisy chain with the
secondary daisy chain (do not “cross cable” the two sets of CMCs).
In a non-redundant CMC, cable all CMC modules in the CMC
primary slots together.
Figure 1-10 shows four enclosures with redundant CMC modules installed.
Primary CMC port GB1 in the first enclosure connects to the management
network. Primary CMC port GB1 in the adjacent enclosure is "uplinked” into
the port labeled "STK" on the primary CMC in the enclosure above it. No
cable is required in port STK on the fourth enclosure in line. The same
cabling scheme is valid for the daisy chain of CMC modules in the secondary
slot of the enclosures.
