Dell 2 manual Configuring iDRAC Network Settings, Configuring iDRAC QuickDeploy Network Settings

The slot name setting in the CMC web interface always overrides any change you make to the display name in the iDRAC interface.

To edit a slot name using the CMC Web interface:

1.In the left pane, go to Chassis Overview → Server Overview → Setup → Slot Names.

2.On the Slot Names page, edit the slot name, in the Slot Name field.

3.To use a server’s host name as slot name, select the Use Host Name for the Slot name option. This overrides the static slot names with the server’s Host Name (or system name), if available. This requires the OMSA agent to be installed on the server.

To restore the default slot name (SLOT-01 through SLOT-04) on the basis of a server's slot position) to a

server, click Restore Default Value.
