You can view the overall system status, a list of outstanding events that require immediate attention, and the overall status of all chassis components on the System Status page.
The Chassis Management Module 2 web interface opens to the System Status page. The chassis type is identified at the top left of the page. The top right of the page identifies the current user and provides access to the user Settings menu, Log Out, and Help options.
The remaining content of this page and other web interface pages vary according to the type of Flex System chassis that you are using and the firmware versions and options that are installed. See Starting the web interface for detailed information about opening CMM web interface.
The Chassis Graphical View tab is the default view on the System Status page. The Chassis Graphical View contains an interactive graphic of the front and rear view of the chassis. You can move the pointer over an individual component to display some general information about it. Click the component to view or hide detailed information contained in a table below the system graphic. Right-click the component to display a context menu of options available for that component. The Chassis Graphical View provides a quick means to access and change settings for components installed in the chassis.
Each component shows a color-coded overall status to indicate any problems that might exist for that device. You can click on a component to see additional information about device problems, with full details appearing in the Event Log (see Event log options for information).
For a Flex System Enterprise Chassis, green indicates normal operation, yellow indicates that a non-critical warning event has occurred, and red indicates that a critical error event has occurred. For the Lenovo Flex System Carrier-Grade Chassis, green indicates normal operation, yellow indicates that a minor or major non-critical alarm has occurred, and red indicates that a critical alarm has occurred. In a Lenovo Flex System Carrier-Grade Chassis, one or more alarms can be manually selected, acknowledged, and cleared.
Click the Chassis Table View tab to change the view from the interactive graphical format to tabular format. The option to export the tabular information in CSV, XML, or PDF format is available from the Chassis Table View.

The information includes the device name, type, overall health status, bay, bay-type, machine type/model, and serial number. Click Export and select a file format to save the information to a file.
Chassis Graphical View - Click Chassis Graphical View to view a map of the front and rear view of the chassis with all installed components. A component might have a green (normal operation), yellow (non-critical event has occurred), or red (critical event has occurred) tint to indicate the health status of a component. Place the pointer over a component to view the name, bay, model, and status information for that component. Right-click a component to access a menu of options for the component, including power and restart, connectivity tests, LED identification, and component console access. When you click a component, the bottom of the Chassis page will populate with component-specific property tabs. Every property tab is not applicable to every component.
Note
Some older devices that are installed in the chassis might have device graphics in the Chassis Graphical View that are generalized images of the device and might not be entirely identical to your device. Use the inventory information to help identify the device type and model.
All of the tabs in the graphical view of the Chassis page are described as follows:
Events - List of log events for the selected component.
General - Configured options that are specific to each component. The fields are read-only and can be changed from the Chassis Management menu.
