Drive management utility available?

Question

So I've inhereted a system: it's a dell poweredge r610. The person I inherited it from did some sloppy work before they were fired, and one of the things they did was to install windows server 2012 r2 on this server with no Dell management or configuration utilities.

Now, one of the drives on the server is showing a fault. Is there a utility from Dell that will run on 2012/2012 r2 for a poweredge r610 that will scan the drives,the controller & RAID configuration from the OS & generate a report so I can see if the drive needs to be replaced?

Thanks

Hello

You can install OpenManage Server Administrator managed node to monitor and manage the hardware on the server.

It is listed under the system management section.

Thanks
