The Firmware Inventory section displays the firmware version for the following components:
• BIOS
• Lifecycle Controller
• iDRAC
• OS driver pack
• 32-bit diagnostics
• System CPLD
• PERC controllers
• Batteries
• Physical disks
• Power supply
• NIC
• Fibre Channel
• Backplane
• Enclosure
• PCIe SSDs
NOTE: Software inventory displays only the last 4 bytes of the firmware version. For example, if the firmware version is
FLVDL06, the firmware inventory displays DL06.
NOTE: On the Dell PowerEdge FX2/FX2s servers, the naming convention of the CMC version displayed in the iDRAC
GUI differs from the version displayed on the CMC GUI. However, the version remains the same.
When you replace any hardware component or update the firmware versions, make sure to enable and run the Collect System
Inventory on Reboot (CSIOR) option to collect the system inventory on reboot. After a few minutes, log in to iDRAC, and navigate to
the
System Inventory page to view the details. It may take up to 5 minutes for the information to be available depending on the
hardware installed on the server.
NOTE:
CSIOR option is enabled by default.
NOTE: Configuration changes and firmware updates that are made within the operating system may not reflect properly
in the inventory until you perform a server restart.
Click Export to export the hardware inventory in an XML format and save it to a location of your choice.
Viewing sensor information
The following sensors help to monitor the health of the managed system:
• Batteries — Provides information about the batteries on the system board CMOS and storage RAID On Motherboard (ROMB).
NOTE:
The Storage ROMB battery settings are available only if the system has a ROMB with a battery.
• Fan (available only for rack and tower servers) — Provides information about the system fans — fan redundancy and fans list that
display fan speed and threshold values.
• CPU — Indicates the health and state of the CPUs in the managed system. It also reports processor automatic throttling and
predictive failure.
• Memory — Indicates the health and state of the Dual In-line Memory Modules (DIMMs) present in the managed system.
• Intrusion — Provides information about the chassis.
• Power Supplies (available only for rack and tower servers) — Provides information about the power supplies and the power supply
redundancy status.
NOTE:
If there is only one power supply in the system, the power supply redundancy is set to Disabled.
• Removable Flash Media — Provides information about the Internal SD Modules; vFlash and Internal Dual SD Module (IDSDM).
• When IDSDM redundancy is enabled, the following IDSDM sensor status is displayed — IDSDM Redundancy Status, IDSDM SD1,
IDSDM SD2. When redundancy is disabled, only IDSDM SD1 is displayed.
• 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.
