4 Understanding Quick Sync 2 for Dell EMC PowerEdge 14th Gen Servers and MX7000 Chassis
Executive summary
Dell EMC pioneered the “at-the-server” systems management in 2014 with the introduction of an NFC-based
bezel that enabled communication between a mobile device and iDRAC. This “Quick Sync” bezel is
supported on PowerEdge R730, R730xd, and R630 PowerEdge servers. The bezel lets customers perform
bare-metal configuration by assigning an IP address and changing password of iDRAC. They can also view
server details, hardware and software inventory, networking details, health status, and logs.
However, the Quick Sync bezel was supported only on Android mobile devices and had to be purchased at
the point-of-sale. For 14th generation PowerEdge servers, Dell EMC went back to the drawing board and
completely redesigned Quick Sync, which is now being launched as the Quick Sync 2 module. The
Infographics highlights some of the key changes that are now being introduced in Quick Sync 2.
Quick Sync 2 is now also supported on MX7000 chassis and can configure, monitor, and remediate the
chassis as well as associated slides.
