Configuration validation of Dell EMC PowerEdge R750
The new generation of PowerEdge systems of?Dell EMC PowerEdge R750?have added interconnect flexibility and advanced iDRAC management features to collect precise system configuration information and report configuration errors.
When the system is powered on, information about installed cables, risers, backplanes, floating card (fPERClike BOSS), and processor is obtained from the CPLD and backplane memory maps is analyzed. This information forms a unique configuration, which is compared with one of the qualified configurations stored in a table maintained by iDRAC.
One or more sensors are assigned to each of the configuration elements. During POST, any configuration validation error is logged in the System Event Log (SEL)/LifeCycle (LC) log. The reported events are categorized in the configuration validation error table.
