5 Understanding Quick Sync 2 for Dell EMC PowerEdge 14th Gen Servers and MX7000 Chassis
1 Quick Sync 2 capabilities
Using Quick Sync 2 with OpenManage Mobile (OMM), administrators can configure, monitor, and
troubleshoot the 14G PowerEdge servers and MX7000 Chassis.
To monitor servers, Quick Sync 2 provides information such as:
 System inventory, including CPU and Memory details
 Health status
 iDRAC System Event and Lifecycle Controller logs
 Network settings
 Firmware details
 Diagnostics information including SupportAssist reports, console/last crash screens, and boot and crash
videos
With Quick Sync 2, an administrator can configure:
 iDRAC IP/NIC network settings
 iDRAC root credentials
 The first boot device
 The system location (Datacenter, Room, Aisle, Rack, and Slot)
 The most common BIOS settings (System Profile, Virtualization, Logical Processor, Boot Mode, Secure
Boot, Serial Comm, Serial Port, USB Ports, and Asset Tag)
 iDRAC Auto-Config
Also, OMM can assist in troubleshooting. Using Quick Sync 2 OMM can:
 Establish a VNC remote console session
 Run RACADM commands
 Power cycle a server
OMM can also monitor an MX7000 Chassis and its subcomponents. Quick Sync 2 provides:
 Chassis component overviews and rollup health
 Chassis and system fault logs
 Network settings
 Connected IO Module inventory
 Power supply capacity, input voltage, and redundancy
 Fan speed and thresholds
When connected to an MX7000 Chassis with Quick Sync 2, an administrator also has the same monitoring,
configuration, and troubleshooting capabilities for each compute sled in the chassis.
Note—Some features in OpenManage Mobile are dependent on iDRAC licensing. For example, VNC requires an
iDRAC Enterprise license.
