NOTE: PowerEdge C6220 server and FX2 server are newly added resource.

NOTE: For C-Series server: Hardware monitoring is not available for DellPowerEdge C 6220 Server,

whereas it is available for iDRAC-based server. Network and BIOS configuration cannot be

performed using appliance. You need to do it manually. You need to make sure that hard disk is

available for server to install OS. You need to set single NIC to PXE boot. This should be set as first

boot device and hard disk should be set as second boot device.

You need to configure network on top of rack switch which are connected to C-Series server. You

need to configure necessary VLAN on the service facing port of that top of rack switch. For that you

need to place PXE VLAN-untagged for any kind of OS deployment. If it’s Windows and Linux bare

metal OS installation, you need to set worklaod network and you need to set Hypervisor

management network for ESXi deployment.

NOTE: For FX Server : FX2 Server is very similar to M1000E chassis. FX2 is kind of a chassis but it’s

smaller than usual chassis. It’s only support four servers. It only support fabric A network support,

whereas M1000E Chassis support Fabric A, Fabic, Fabric C. Apart from Fabric A, FX2 supports PCI
