Managed System Requirements
These are the managed system requirements for Dell systems:

Administrator Storage Management Service.)

Administrator 6.1.
• The minimum supported version is Dell OpenManage Server
Administrator 5.3 and above.
You can download the latest version of Server Administrator from the

NOTE: If a system has Server Administrator version lesser than 5.3, it will be
grouped under "Unmanaged" and monitoring will be disabled.
• Install the DRAC agent using the Dell Systems Management Tools and
Documentation
DVD, if Dell Remote Access Controller (DRAC) is

• Configure a valid IP address for your BMC and ensure network
connectivity for Advanced power control and LED identification tasks to
work without errors.
