Powering off the enclosure
There are two methods for powering off an enclosure:
• Power off the PDU that powers the enclosure.
• Unplug the power cable(s) to the enclosure.
There is no virtual method in the Onboard Administrator to power down an enclosure.
Linking enclosures
Linking enclosures can be done from the rear of the enclosure. See the HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure
Setup and Installation Guide for further information.
Managing multiple enclosures
On the main menu within the Systems and Devices section of the screen, each enclosure is identified by its
unique name (default enclosure name is the serial number of the enclosure). Clicking the blue box containing
a + expands the enclosure view, allowing access to the subcategories for the various blades, fans, power
supplies, Onboard Administrators, and switches within the enclosure.
To physically determine which enclosure you are working on, press the Onboard Administrator UID button.
Pressing the UID button illuminates a bright blue LED that is located on the tray. To turn off the UID, press the
Onboard Administrator UID button a second time. When viewing the Enclosures screen, you can use one of
two sections that can help you determine which enclosure is the enclosure you are attached to (highlighted
in the image).
• Under Rack Overview, the name of the enclosure you are logged into is displayed.
