• If IDSDM redundancy is initially disabled when the system is powered on or after an iDRAC reset, the IDSDM SD1 sensor status is
displayed only after a card is inserted.
• If IDSDM redundancy is enabled with two SD cards present in the IDSDM, and the status of one SD card is online while the status
of the other card is offline. A system reboot is required to restore redundancy between the two SD cards in the IDSDM. After the
redundancy is restored, the status of both the SD cards in the IDSDM is
online.
• During the rebuilding operation to restore redundancy between two SD cards present in the IDSDM, the IDSDM status is not
displayed since the IDSDM sensors are powered off.
NOTE: If the host system is rebooted during IDSDM rebuild operation, the iDRAC does not display the IDSDM
information. To resolve this, rebuild IDSDM again or reset the iDRAC.
• System Event Logs (SEL) for a write-protected or corrupt SD card in the IDSDM module are not repeated until they are cleared by
replacing the SD card with a writable or good SD card, respectively.
• Temperature — Provides information about the system board inlet temperature and exhaust temperature (only applies to rack
servers). The temperature probe indicates whether the status of the probe is within the pre-set warning and critical threshold value.
• Voltage — Indicates the status and reading of the voltage sensors on various system components.

Monitoring Performance Index of CPU, Memory,
and I/O Modules
In 13
th
generation Dell PowerEdge servers, Intel ME provides support for Compute Usage Per Second (CUPS) functionality. The CUPS
functionality provides real-time monitoring of CPU, memory and I/O utilization and system-level utilization index for the system. Since it is
done by Intel ME, it is independent of the OS and does not consume CPU resources. The Intel ME has a system CUPS sensor which
provides the Computation, Memory and I/O resource utilization value as CUPS Index. iDRAC monitors this CUPS index for the overall
system utilization and also monitors the instantaneous value of CPU, Memory, and I/O utilization index.
Utilization information of system resources is obtained by querying the data from a set of dedicated counters provided by the CPU and
chipset. These counters are called Resource Monitoring Counters or RMCs. These counters are aggregated by the node manager to
