Configure SMTP Settings
To receive email notifications, follow the steps in this section to configure SMTP settings. Dell Server
email notifications inform recipients of status error states, password updates, availability of Dell Server
updates, and client license issues.
It is a best practice to restart the services any time a settings change is made.
To configure SMTP settings, follow these steps:
1. From the Advanced Configuration menu, select Email Notifications.
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.
11. A Service alert reminder is triggered when the reminder interval has passed after a notification
is sent about a system health issue and the host or service remains in the same state.
12. In the Summary Report, to enable reports of notifications, select the desired interval (daily,
weekly, or monthly) and then press the space bar to enter an X in the field.
13. Select OK.
