Installation Manual

Configuring the iDRAC6 Using the Web Interface 83
Devices screen of the system BIOS setup. For more information about the
BIOS options for IDSDM, see the Hardware Owner’s Manual available on the
Dell Support website at dell.com/support/manuals.
NOTE: In the BIOS setup, Integrated Devices screen, the Internal USB Port option
must be set to On. If this is set to Off, the IDSDM is not visible to the system as a boot
device.
One of the two SD cards can be the master. For example, if two SD cards are
installed in the IDSDM while AC power is removed from the system, SD1 is
considered the active or master card. SD2 is the backup card, and all file
system IDSDM writes will go to both cards, but reads will occur only from
SD1. At any time if SD1 fails or is removed, SD2 will automatically become
the active (master) card. The vFlash SD card is disabled in Mirror Mode.
Using iDRAC you can view the status, health, and availability of IDSDM.
The SD card redundancy status and failure events are logged to SEL,
displayed on LCD, and PET alerts are generated if alerts are enabled.

The Redundancy Status is displayed as Full. If this section is not
present, then the card is in the non-redundant mode state. The valid
Redundancy Status indications are:
– Full — SD card 1 and 2 are functioning properly.
–
Lost — Either one of the SD card or both the SD cards are not
functioning properly.
