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.

Back-Panel Features

The back of the M1000e enclosure supports six I/O modules, one or two

CMC modules, an optional iKVM module, nine fan modules, and six power

supply modules. Figure 1-6 shows a fully configured enclosure.

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.
