Operating Your Storage Enclosure
Managing Your Storage Enclosure
Disk storage within the enclosure can be configured using either the BIOS 
configuration utility or Server Administrator. For optimal management and 
serviceability of your enclosure, it is recommended that you use Server 
Administrator.
 
NOTE: 
Online configuration, enclosure status, and active event notification is only 
supported with Server Administrator version 6.2 or later. 
Server Administrator provides a comprehensive server/storage management 
solution with an integrated graphical view and command line interface. It 
enables online configuration and management for both internal storage and 
externally attached storage.
Server Administrator obtains information about physical storage devices, disk 
enclosures, virtual disks/RAID arrays, and logical devices and displays the 
information in both physical and logical views. Using Server Administrator 
you can:
create and manage RAID storage configurations
display storage information 
customize event reporting
view logged events 
For more information, see the Server Administrator documentation at 
support.dell.com/manuals.
Downloading Firmware
You can download firmware updates for your storage enclosure using the Dell 
Update Package available at support.dell.com.
