About Your System System Overview Your system can include up to 16 half-height blades (server modules), eight full-height blades, eight sleeves with quarter-height blades, or a mix of the three blade types. To function as a system, a blade or sleeve is inserted into an 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.

For more information, see the CMC documentation at support.dell.com/manuals. To set up a network using the LCD configuration wizard: If you have not already done so, press the chassis power button to turn it on.
DNS settings If required, configure the iDRAC network settings. For more information about iDRAC, see the iDRAC User’s Guide at support.dell.com/manuals. NOTE: The configuration wizard automatically configures each blade’s iDRAC internal network interface if you do not choose to manually configure the iDRAC settings.

– User access security NOTE: It is recommended that you isolate chassis management from the data network. Dell cannot support or guarantee uptime of a chassis that is improperly integrated into your environment. Due to the potential of traffic on the data network, the management interfaces on the internal management network can be saturated by traffic intended for servers.
See the latest CMC User's Guide at support.dell.com/manuals for complete instructions on how to set up and operate the CMC module. The following figure illustrates the arrangement of cables for four daisy-chained chassis, each with active and standby...

Dell systems management application documentation provides information about installing and using the systems management software. • For the full name of an abbreviation or acronym used in this document, see the Glossary at support.dell.com/ manuals. • Any media that ships with your system that provides documentation and tools for configuring and managing your system, including those pertaining to the operating system, system management software, system updates, and system components that you purchased with your system.
Reinstall the blades and power supplies after you install the chassis in the rack. Unpack the enclosure and install it in a rack. Getting Started Guide and Rack Installation Guide at support.dell.com/manuals. For more information, see the CAUTION: Do not turn on the blades (server modules) until you have configured the switch modules.
Configuring The CMC Using The LCD Configuration Wizard When you first boot your system, the screen on the LCD module directs you to configure the CMC network settings. NOTE: The option to configure the enclosure using the LCD configuration wizard is only available until the CMC default password is changed or when the LCD configuration wizard is complete.
The new network settings are activated in a few seconds after configuring the network. Logging In To The CMC Using The Web-Based Interface Open a supported web browser window.
