HP BladeSystem Insight Display

Insight Display overview

The Insight Display enables the rack technician to configure the enclosure initially. It also provides information about the health and operation of the enclosure. See the HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator User Guide for additional information.

The Insight Display background color varies with the condition of the enclosure health:

•Blue—The Insight Display background illuminates blue when the enclosure UID is active. The enclosure UID is automatically turned on when the enclosure is powered up for the first time and can be turned on by selecting Turn Enclosure UID On from the Main Menu or by pressing the enclosure UID button on the rear of the enclosure.

When the enclosure UID is on, the Insight Display flashes after 2 minutes of inactivity. Pressing any button on the Insight Display stops the flashing and reactivates the screen.

•Green—The Insight Display background illuminates green when no error or alert conditions exist and the enclosure is operating normally. After 2 minutes of inactivity, the Insight Display light turns off. Pressing any button on the Insight Display reactivates the screen.

•Amber—The Insight Display background illuminates amber when the Onboard Administrator detects an error or alert condition. Depending on the error, the component is displayed in red or yellow on the Health Summary screen.

After 2 minutes of inactivity, the Insight Display background flashes amber, indicating an error or alert condition exists. If the enclosure UID is on and an error or alert condition exists, the Insight Display illuminates blue because the enclosure UID takes priority over the alert. Pressing any button on the Insight Display reactivates the screen.

•Dark (no power)—The Insight Display has a 2-minute inactivity period. If no action is taken and no alert condition exists, the enclosure UID is off, or the chat mode has not been activated, the screen light turns off after 2 minutes. Pressing any button on the Insight Display reactivates the screen.

The Enclosure Health icon is located on the bottom left corner of every screen, indicating the enclosure health. To access the Health Summary screen from any Insight Display screen, navigate the cursor to the Enclosure Health icon and press OK.

Running the Insight Display installation steps

To identify the enclosure, the rear enclosure UID light and the background of the Insight Display are illuminated blue when the enclosure is powered on initially. When the enclosure is powered up for the first time, the Insight Display launches an installation wizard to guide you through the configuration process. At the beginning of the installation, the wizard automatically powers on the enclosure UID. After the installation is complete, the wizard powers off the enclosure. After configuring the enclosure, the Insight Display verifies that there are no installation or configuration errors. If errors are present, the Insight Display guides you
