Overview

Dell™ PowerEdge™ Diagnostics require Dell-qualified device drivers and firmware to run diagnostics on RAID controllers, SCSI controllers, and attached hard drives.

Systems administrators who are responsible for diagnosing their storage devices with the latest installed operating system need a complete matrix showing the elements that are compatible with a particular storage controller. Each version of the storage controller in turn supports a specific array of elements, including:


PERC 320/DC
