OEM devices
Dell OEM devices (re-branded or de-branded Dell servers and Compellent S8000 iDRAC), when discovered, are classied under
OEM Devices in the device tree. Most of the functionality available to Dell servers, such as tasks, reports, and lters are also
applicable to Dell OEM servers. However, system update may not be possible if it is not supported by the OEM device module. OEM
servers are always classied under the OEM Devices group in the device tree. They are not displayed under the Servers or RAC
group. If both the server and RAC of the OEM device are discovered, they are correlated and displayed as one device under the
OEM Devices group. Other OEM devices except servers and RAC are classied under the dierent server groups such as Microsoft
Virtualization Servers, VMware ESX servers, and so on, based on the classication criteria they satisfy.
