Main System Chassis/Main System Information

The fields that display for your Main System Chassis/Main System depend on the features that your system supports. The table below shows many of the fields that you may see when you display a system summary for your Main System Chassis/Main System. You can see a summary of properties for your Main System Chassis/Main System by selecting System from the Server Administrator system tree and by selecting the Summary tab.

NOTE: Main System Chassis is applicable for non-modular systems and Main System for modular systems. 

NOTE: This help page may include information about features not supported by your system. Server Administrator only displays the features that are supported on your system.
