Accessing PowerEdge servers from OpenManage Mobile
There are three ways OpenManage Mobile can access and manage the Dell EMC PowerEdge servers:
Access iDRAC at-the-server
On 14

gets connected, IT administrators can configure IP addresses and BIOS settings, share Dell EMC SupportAssist reports, view server
inventory, health status and logs, or power cycle a server.
Quick Sync 2 is supported of multiple 14

Quick Sync bezel is supported on PowerEdge R730, R730xd, and R630 servers.
NOTE:
For at-the-server access, you must install the Quick Sync 2 module or the Quick Sync bezel.
Access iDRAC remotely
OMM can access 12
