Reporting up to two Enclosures per Connector

Each External Shared PERC 8 card supports up to two enclosures per connector. However, there are two different configurations
with different restrictions. In a single PERC (non-fault tolerant) configuration you can connect up to two enclosures per card.
Because of redundant cabling, a Fault Tolerant External Shared PERC 8 card solution supports up to two enclosures per fault
tolerant pair.
If more than two enclosures are detected on any connector, a warning message is logged to the chassis log. This affects chassis
health and provides an active alert or chassis log entry.

Setting Asset Tag and Asset Name of the Enclosure

To identify the enclosures, set the asset name and asset tag of the enclosures.
NOTE:
• Error is displayed if you enter an invalid value.
• Initially the value which is saved in the firmware is displayed.
• You must have Chassis Configuration Privileges to set asset tag and asset name of the enclosure.
• You can set Asset Tag and Asset Name only for external enclosures.
Setting Asset Tag and Asset Name of the Enclosure Using Web Interface
To set the asset tag and asset name of the enclosure, click Chassis Overview → Storage → Enclosures → Setup. Type the Asset
Tag and Asset Name in the appropriate fields, and then click Apply. For more information, see the CMC Online Help.
Setting Asset Tag and Asset Name of the Enclosure Using RACADM
To set asset tag of the enclosure, use racadm raid set enclosures: Enclosure.External.
0-0:RAID.ChassisSlot.5-1 –p AssetTag <value> command.
To set asset name of the enclosure, use racadm raid set enclosures: Enclosure.External.
0-0:RAID.ChassisSlot.5-1 –p AssetName <value> command.
For more information, see the Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge VRTX RACADM Command Line Reference Guide
available at dell.com/support/manuals.

Viewing Temperature Probe Status and attributes of the Enclosure

Temperature probe status displays the status of the temperature sensors of the enclosure. Sensors contain a status value that is
unique from the enclosure. You can have up to four temperature sensors or probes and enclosure firmware creates a status for each
sensor. You must have CMC Login privileges to view probe status.
Viewing Temperature Probe Status and attributes of the Enclosure Using Web Interface
To view the temperature probe status and attributes of the enclosure:
Click Chassis Overview → Storage → Enclosures → Properties. The Enclosures page provides the health and attributes for the
temperature probe of the enclosure in the chassis. Expand the external enclosure to view the status for the PSU of the enclosures.
For more information, see the CMC Online Help.
Viewing Temperature Probe Attributes of the Enclosure Using RACADM
To view temperature probe attributes of the Enclosure, use racadm raid get tempprobes -o command. For more
information, see the Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge VRTX RACADM Command Line Reference Guide available at
dell.com/cmcmanuals.

Setting the Temperature Warning Threshold of the Enclosure

Temperature warning threshold allows you to change the threshold at which an enclosure temperature reports as warning.
