the Chassis Information tab, you can view the chassis overview details for an individual chassis, information about
hardware inventory, firmware and management controller. The following three tabs are displayed for each chassis and
varies for some chassis based on the models.

Viewing Chassis Summary Details
You can view the Chassis summary details for an individual chassis on the ChassisSummary page.
To view the Chassis summary details:
1. On the Home page, click vCenter Server.
2. In the left pane, under OpenManage Integration, click Dell Chassis.
3. In the left pane, select the corresponding chassis IP.
4. Click the Summary tab.
The following information about the selected Chassis is displayed:
• Model
• Firmware Version
• Service Tag
• CMC (If you click the CMC link, the Chassis Management Controller page is displayed.)
NOTE: If you do not inventory chassis, you can see only Service Tag and CMC IP address.
5. You can view the health status of the devices associated with the selected chassis. The main pane displays the
overall health of a chassis. The valid health indicators are Healthy, Warning, Critical, Not Present. In the Chassis
Health grid view, the health of each component is displayed. The chassis health parameters are applicable for
models VRTX version 1.0 and later, M1000e version 4.4 and later. For versions less than 4.3 only two health
indicators are displayed, namely Healthy and Warning or Critical (Inverted triangle with an exclamatory mark in
orange color).
NOTE: The overall health indicates the health based on the chassis with the least health parameter. For
example, if there are 5 healthy signs and 1 warning sign, the overall health is shown as warning.
6. You can view the CMC Enterprise or Express with the license type and expiry date for a chassis. This is not
applicable for M1000e chassis.
7. In the Warranty Icon the number of remaining days and the days used for a server. If you have more than one
warranty, then the last day of the last warranty is considered to calculate the number of days left for warranty.
8. The Active Errors table lists and displays the errors for a chassis which are displayed in the Chassis Health page.
For M1000e version 4.3 and below, the active errors are not displayed.
