Managing multiple enclosures

On the main menu within the Systems and Devices section of the screen, each enclosure is identified by its unique name (default enclosure name is the serial number of the enclosure). Clicking the blue box containing a + expands the enclosure view, allowing access to the subcategories for the various blades, fans, power supplies, Onboard Administrators, and switches within the enclosure.

To physically determine which enclosure you are working on, press the Onboard Administrator UID button. Pressing the UID button illuminates a bright blue LED that is located on the tray. To turn off the UID, press the Onboard Administrator UID button a second time. When viewing the Enclosures screen, you can use one of two sections that can help you determine which enclosure is the enclosure you are attached to (highlighted in the image).

  • Under Rack Overview, the name of the enclosure you are logged into is displayed.
  • In the list of enclosures, the enclosure you are logged into displays Primary Connection.
