Identifying the Managed Server in the Chassis

The PowerEdge M1000e chassis holds up to sixteen servers. To locate a
specific server in the chassis, you can use iDRAC6 Web interface to turn on a
blue flashing LED on the server. When you turn on the LED, you can specify
the number of seconds that you want the LED to flash to ensure that you can
reach the chassis while the LED is still flashing. Entering 0 leaves the LED
flashing until you disable it.
To identify the server:
1 Click System→ Remote Access→ iDRAC6→ Troubleshooting.
2 On the Identify screen, select Identify Server.
3 In the Identify Server Timeout field, enter the number of seconds that you
want the LED to blink. Enter 0 if you want the LED to remain flashing
until you disable it.
4 Click Apply.
A blue LED on the server will flash for the number of seconds you specified.
If you entered 0 to leave the LED flashing, follow these steps to disable it:
1 Click System→ Remote Access→ iDRAC6→ Troubleshooting.
2 On the Identify screen, deselect Identify Server.
3 Click Apply.
