About View and Export Current Inventory

You can view information about the currently-installed hardware components that are internal to the system chassis and

the configuration for each component. The table lists all the currently-installed hardware components (for example,

fans, PCI devices, NICs, DIMMs, PSU, and so on), and their properties and values. You can export this information to a

compressed file and then to a USB drive or network share. The XML File is saved in the following format:

HardwareInventory_<servicetag>_<timestamp>.xml

For more information about the easy-to-use names of the hardware components, see Easy-to-use System Component

Names.

NOTE: Incorrect inventory data is displayed or exported after performing Delete Configuration and Reset Defaults.

For viewing the correct inventory data, see

Viewing and Exporting Current Inventory After Resetting Lifecycle
