Configuring LEDs to identify components on the chassis

You can enable the LEDs of components (chassis, servers, storage sleds, and I/O Modules) to blink so that you can identify the
component on the chassis.
NOTE: To modify these settings, you must have the Debug Administrator privilege on a CMC.
When a compute sled is performing an identify action, the front LED of the connected storage sled also flashes the identify pattern.
If a storage sled is in split-single mode and is connected to two compute nodes, it shall flash the identify pattern if either of the two
compute nodes is performing an identify action.
If you start an identify action using OMSS or iDRAC for a compute sled, drive or enclosure, the storage sled associated with them
also performs the identify action.
NOTE: You cannot select only storage sleds for an identify action.
Configuring LED blinking using CMC web interface
To enable blinking for one, multiple, or all component LEDs:
• In the left pane, go to any of the following pages:
– Chassis Overview → Troubleshooting.
– Chassis Overview → Chassis Controller → Troubleshooting.
– Chassis Overview → Server Overview → Troubleshooting.
NOTE: Only servers can be selected on this page.
To enable blinking of a component LED, select the respective component , and then click Blink. To disable blinking of a component
LED, deselect the server, and then click Unblink.
Configuring LED blinking using RACADM
Open a serial/Telnet/SSH text console to CMC, log in, and type:
racadm setled -m <module> [-l <ledState>], where <module> specifies the module whose LED you want to
configure. Configuration options:
• server-n where n = 1-4 (PowerEdge FM120x4), and server-nx where n = 1–4 and x = a to b (PowerEdge FC630).
•
switch-1
•
cmc-active
and <ledState> specifies whether or not the LED should blink. Configuration options:
• 0 — not blinking (default)
• 1 — blinking

Configuring CMC properties

You can configure CMC properties such as power budgeting, network settings, users, and SNMP and email alerts using the web
interface or RACADM commands.

Configuring front panel

You can use the front panel page to configure:
• Power button
• KVM
