Using Quick Sync 2

With Dell OpenManage Mobile running on an Android or iOS mobile device, you can easily access server directly or through OpenManage Essentials or OpenManage Enterprise (OME) console. It allows you to review server details and inventory, view LC and System Event logs, get automatic notifications on mobile device from an OME console, assign IP address and modify iDRAC password, configure key BIOS attributes, and take remediation actions as needed. You can also power cycle a server, access system console, or access iDRAC GUI.

OMM can be downloaded for free from the Apple App Store, or from Google Play Store.

You must install the OpenManage Mobile application on the mobile device (supports Android 5.0+ and iOS 9.0+ mobile devices) to manage server using iDRAC Quick Sync 2 interface.

NOTE This section is displayed only in those servers that has Quick Sync 2 module in left rack ear.
NOTE This feature is currently supported on mobile devices with Android operating system and Apple iOS.

In the current release, this feature is available on all 14th generation of PowerEdge servers. It requires Quick Sync 2 Left Control Panel (embedded in Left rack ear) and Bluetooth Low Energy (and optionally Wi-Fi) enabled mobile devices. Therefore, it is a hardware up-sell and the feature capabilities are not dependent on iDRAC software licensing.

NOTE To configure Quick Sync 2 in MX platform systems, see the OpenManage Enterprise Modular User's Guide and OpenManage Mobile User’s Guide available at dell.com/support/manuals
