Configure SMTP Settings

2. In the Set up Email Notifications screen, to enable email alerts, press the space bar to enter an
X in the Enable Email Alerts field.
3. Enter the SMTP server fully qualified domain name.
4. Enter the SMTP port.
5. In From User, enter the email account ID that will send email notifications.
6. In Enter User, enter an email account ID for access to change configured email notifications.
7. In Password, enter a password for access to change configured email notifications.
8. In Mail IDs for Dell Server Status, Password Updates, and Updates Availability, enter lists of
recipients for each notification type.
9. Follow these conventions when listing recipients:
Email address format is [e-mail].
Recipients are separated with commas or semicolons.
10. In Service alert reminder, to enable reminders, press the space bar to enter an X in the field
then set the reminder interval in minutes.
