Human Interface Infrastructure Configuration Utility
The Human Interface Infrastructure (HII) configuration utility is a storage management application integrated into the System
BIOS <F2>. It is used to configure physical disks. This utility is independent of the operating system. For more information about
HII, see HII configuration utility.
Dell OpenManage Storage Management
Dell OpenManage Storage Management enables you to perform controller and enclosure functions for all supported RAID or
Non-RAID controllers and enclosures from a single graphical or command line interface. For more information, see the Dell
OpenManage Storage Management User's Guide at www.dell.com/openmanagemanuals.
The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller and
Lifecycle Controller
The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) and Lifecycle Controller (LC) application enables you to effectively
monitor the RAID and network controllers installed on the system using iDRAC and LC without an operating system installed
on the system. For more information, see the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 9 User's Guide at www.dell.com/
idracmanuals.
The Command Line Interface
The Command Line Interface (CLI) is a storage management application. This utility allows you to set up, configure, and manage
your Dell Technologies Host Bus Adapter by using the Command Line Interface (CLI).
