Installing SupportAssist Enterprise enables you to start the collection and upload of system information from the local system (server where SupportAssist Enterprise is installed). To allow SupportAssist Enterprise to monitor the local system for hardware issues, you must complete the registration and perform additional tasks.

To set up SupportAssist Enterprise for the local system:

  1. Download the SupportAssist Enterprise installation package. See Downloading the SupportAssist Enterprise installation package.
  2. Review the requirements for installing SupportAssist Enterprise. See Minimum requirements for installing and using SupportAssist Enterprise.
  3. Perform one of the following:
  4. (Optional) Complete the registration of SupportAssist Enterprise. See Registering SupportAssist Enterprise.
    CAUTION: Completing the registration is a prerequisite to experience the full benefits of SupportAssist Enterprise. Without registration, you can only use SupportAssist Enterprise to manually start the collection and upload of system information from your devices to Dell. Until registration is completed, SupportAssist Enterprise can neither monitor your devices for hardware issues nor automatically collect system information.
  5. Perform the following if you want SupportAssist Enterprise to monitor the local system for hardware issues:
    1. Install or upgrade Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) on the local system. See Installing or upgrading OMSA by using SupportAssist Enterprise.
    2. Configure the SNMP settings of the local system. See Configuring SNMP settings by using SupportAssist Enterprise.
    3. Enable SupportAssist Enterprise to monitor hardware issues that may occur on the local system. See Enabling or disabling monitoring of a device.
