Running Oscar; Assigning Server Module Names; Viewing And Selecting Slots And Server Modules - Dell PowerEdge 1855 Configuration Manual

Running OSCAR

To launch OSCAR, press <Print Screen>. The Main dialog box appears.

Assigning Server Module Names

Use the Names dialog box to identify server modules by unique names rather than by slot number.
The Names list is always sorted by slot order.
To access the Names dialog box:
1 Press <Print Screen> to launch OSCAR.
The Main dialog box will appear.
2 Click Setup - Names.
NOTE:
If new server modules are discovered by the KVM switch system, the on-screen list will be
automatically updated. The mouse cursor will change into an hourglass during the update. No mouse
or keyboard input will be accepted until the list update is complete.
NOTE:
The server module names are stored for each slot on the KVM switch. If a server module is
moved to a new slot or chassis, the name does not move with it and must be reassigned by the user
in the Names dialog box.
To assign names to server modules:
1 In the Names dialog box, select the name or slot number you wish to change and click
Modify.
2 Type a name in the New Name box.
Names of server modules may be up to 15 characters long. Legal characters include:
A-Z, a-z, 0-9, space, and hyphen.
3 Click OK to transfer the new name to the Names dialog box.
Your selection is not saved until you click OK in the Names dialog box.
4 Repeat steps 1-3 for each server module in the system.
5 Click OK in the Names dialog box to save your changes.
-or-
Click X or press <Escape> to exit the dialog box without saving changes.

Viewing and Selecting Slots and Server Modules

You can view your server modules by name or by slot. The slot number is determined by the chassis
slot number which a server module occupies. You will see an OSCAR-generated Name list by
default when you first launch OSCAR.
