3. Enter the Community String to which the destination management station belongs.

In the Syslog Configuration (for I/O Modules only) section, enter the Syslog Destination IP Address to send I/O module log messages to a Syslog Destination.

To synchronize the chassis clock with an NTP server, select Enable NTP Server check box and enter the host names or IP addresses of the Primary NTP Server and Secondary NTP Server (Optional).

From the Redundancy Policy drop-down list, select one of the power redundancy policies that you want to configure on the chassis:

• No Redundancy — The chassis is not configured with power redundancy.

• Power Supply Redundancy — A PSU in the chassis is kept as a spare, ensuring that the failure of any one PSU does not cause the servers or chassis to power down.

• Grid Redundancy — This policy divides the available PSUs into two power grids. PSU 1 is power grid 1 and PSU 2 is power grid 2. For maximum power, the PSUs should have the same capacity. If a grid or PSU fails then the power is provided by the remaining PSU.

Optionally, select Server Performance Over Power Redundancy check box to favor server performance and power up over maintaining power redundancy.

Optionally, select Enable Dynamic Power Supply Engagement check box to allow the chassis controller to put underutilized PSUs into standby mode based on the redundancy policy and system power requirements.

Optionally, select Register Chassis Controller on DNS check box to enable users to access the Chassis Management Controller (CMC) with a user-friendly name, instead of an IP address.

Optionally, select Register iDRAC on DNS check box to enable users to access the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) with a user-friendly name, instead of an IP address.

Optionally, select Enable IPMI over LAN check box to enable or disable the IPMI over LAN channel for each iDRAC present in the chassis.
