Viewing Chassis Information and Monitoring Chassis and Component Health

You can view information and monitor the health of the following:

• Active and standby CMCs

• All severs and individual servers

• IO Module

• Fans

• Power Supply Units (PSUs)

• Temperature sensors

• Hard disk drives

• LCD assembly

• Storage controllers

• PCIe devices

Viewing Chassis and Component Summaries

When you log in to the CMC web interface, the Chassis Health page displays the health of the chassis

and its components. It displays a graphical view of the chassis and its components. It is dynamically

updated, and the component sub-graphic overlays and text hints are automatically changed to reflect the

current state.

To view the chassis health, click Chassis Overview. The system displays the overall health status of the

chassis, active and standby CMCs, server modules, IO Module (IOM), fans, blowers, power supply units
