Using the Dashboard Health Options

To use the navigation panel to display the current system status of the DR Series system components (or any expansion
shelf enclosure) that are installed, complete the following:
1. Click Dashboard → Health.
The Health page is displayed.
2. Mouse over the chassis front and rear panel views on the Health page to display a dialog with the status, name,
and state for the DR Series system disk drives and OS drives (DR4000 and DR4100 system).
Use the same process to display a similar dialog with the status and name for the power supplies and rear panel
connectors for an expansion shelf enclosure.
3. View the status in the System Hardware Health summary table for all of the DR Series system or expansion shelf
components (depending upon the tab selected, System or Enclosure).
To display additional information, click to expand each component in the corresponding summary table.
NOTE: The Health page provides status of the DR Series chassis front and rear views showing the chassis
drives (0-11), the power supplies (PS1 and PS2), and the OS internal drives (12 and 13) for the DR4000 system
(in the DR4100 system, the OS drives reside in the rear chassis). In addition, all other major DR Series system
components are listed in the System Hardware Health table (Power Supplies, Fans, Temperature, Storage,
Voltage, NIC (network interface card), CPU, DIMM (dual in-line memory module), and NVRAM. For each
installed expansion shelf (Enclosure 1 or Enclosure 2), the Health page provides status of the expansion shelf
chassis front and rear views showing the chassis drives (0–11) and lists the service tag. The System
Hardware Health table for the enclosure lists the Power Supplies, Fans, Temperature, Storage, and Enclosure
Management Module (EMM).

Understanding DR Series System NICs And Ports
Two key components of the DR Series system interaction between its containers and the network involves the network
interface cards (NICs) and system ports. The DR Series system supports the use of the following types of NICs:
• 1-Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) two-port (10-Base T); Dell recommends using CAT6a copper cabling
• 10-GbE two-port (100-Base T); Dell recommends using CAT6a copper cabling
• 10-GbE SFP+ two-port using LC fiber-optic transceivers or twin-axial cabling
