Viewing Chassis Component Summaries
When you log in to the CMC Web interface, the Chassis Health page allows you to view the health of the chassis and its components. It displays a live graphical view of the chassis and its components. It is dynamically updated, and the component subgraphic overlays and text hints are automatically changed to reflect the current state.
70 Viewing Chassis Information and Monitoring Chassis and Component Health
Figure 6. Example of Chassis Graphics in the Web Interface
To view the chassis health, go to Chassis Overview > Properties > Health . It displays the overall health status for the chassis, active and standby CMCs, sever modules, IO Modules (IOMs), fans, iKVM, power supplies (PSUs), temperature sensors, and LCD assembly. Detailed information for each component is displayed when you click on that component. In addition, the latest events in the CMC Hardware Log are also displayed. For more information, see the CMC Online Help .
If your chassis is configured as a Group Lead, the Group Health page is displayed after login. It displays the chassis level information and alerts. All active critical and non-critical alerts are displayed.
Chassis Graphics
The chassis is represented by front and back views—the upper and lower images, respectively. Servers and the LCD are shown in the front view and the remaining components are shown in the back view. A blue cast indicates the component selection and is controlled by clicking the image of the required component. When a component is present in the chassis, an icon of that component type is shown in the graphics in the position (slot) where the component has been installed. Empty positions are shown with a charcoal gray background. The component icon visually indicates the state of the component. Other components display icons that visually represent the physical component. Icons for servers and IOMs span multiple slots when a double size component is installed. Hovering over a component displays a tooltip with additional information about that component.

Selected Component Information
Information for the selected component is displayed in three independent sections:
• Health and Performance and Properties — Displays the active critical and non-critical events as shown by the hardware logs and the performance data that vary with time.
• Properties — Displays the component properties that do not vary with time or change only infrequently.
• Quick Links — Provides links to navigate to the most frequently accessed pages, and also the most frequently performed actions. Only links applicable to the selected component are displayed in this section.
NOTE: In Multi-Chassis Management (MCM), all the Quick Links associated with the servers are not displayed.
