Assigning PCIe Slots To Servers Using CMC Web Interface

To assign PCIe slots to the servers:
  • In the left pane, click Chassis Overview > PCIe Overview > Setup > Mapping: PCIe Slots to Server Slots. On the Mapping: PCIe Slots to Server Slots page, in the Action column, from the Action drop-down menu, select the appropriate server name, and then click Apply.
Note the following:

  • Without a license, the maximum number of PCIe slots that maybe mapped to a half-height server is two. If a full-height server is installed you can map two PCIe slots to the upper server slot and two to the lower (extended) server slot, for a total of four PCIe slots per full-height server.

  • You can map the server slots to any of the 8 PCIe slots.

  • A full-height server has both upper and lower mezzanines populated. Else, during POST will stop when the <F1> or <F2> is displayed on the page for you to press any one of the keys.

  • For full-height servers you can map a maximum of two PCIE slots to upper and two to lower mezzanines. By default, all PCIe mappings to server slot 3 will go to the lower mezzanines.

  • Server slot number is displayed as Slot-01, Slot-02, and so on. For a full-height server, the slot name is displayed as Ext. of Slot-01, Ext. of Slot-02, and so on.

  • If you select the host name, then the host name is displayed instead of the slot name.

  • CMC provides alert capabilities through System Event Log (SEL), SNMP, and Email interfaces.
