Minimum to POST and system management
configuration validation
This section describes the minimum to POST system requirement and system management configuration validation of the Dell
EMC system.
Topics:
• Minimum configuration to POST
• Configuration validation
Minimum configuration to POST
The components listed below are the minimum configuration to POST:
● One power supply unit
● System board
● One processor in socket processor 1
●
One memory module (DIMM) installed in the socket A1
Configuration validation
The new generation of PowerEdge systems 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 (fPERC or 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.
