Getting started
Understanding Augmented Reality Monitoring in OpenManage Mobile | Dell EMC Technical White Paper
You must activate Quick Sync 2 on the chassis first, and then Augmented Reality Monitoring must be
launched. This gives Augmented Reality Monitoring a brief time to load data in the background while the rest
of the manual steps are finished.
Launching and Using Augmented Reality Monitoring:
1. Launch the OpenManage Mobile application on the mobile device.
2. Go to the navigation menu and select the Augmented Reality Monitoring link.
3. After launching the Augmented Reality Monitoring, to detect the chassis, point the camera to the chassis.
4. You must stand three feet away from the chassis and hold the camera perpendicular to the chassis. For
more information, see Understanding Augmented Reality. You can try moving the camera to capture
different angles of the chassis.
If the Quick Sync 2 of the chassis has already been activated and the chassis was initially configured by
OpenManage Mobile, then at this stage the health data of the chassis should be displayed on the camera
feed. If either of these steps had not been completed yet, instructions in Augmented Reality Monitoring will
help connect the device to the chassis.
The health data will overlay on top of the chassis front face, highlighting the components that are healthy as
green, components that have a warning fault as yellow, and components that have a critical fault as red.
Simply tap any component to view a detailed report of that component. The center of the report will list any
faults that are associated with that component. If the fault list does not have enough details, or if the problem
is unknown, the report will have a navigation link to the Hardware Logs page of OpenManage Mobile to find
additional information.
Note: When Augmented Reality Monitoring navigates to the regular monitoring pages in OpenManage
Mobile, the augmented reality detection of the chassis is lost and must be identified again. All other data and
connection information is saved.
