Dell Storage MD1400 and MD1420 Enclosures Deployment Guide

Managing your storage enclosure

Physical disk drive 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 available at dell.com/openmanagemanuals.

  • NOTE: Online configuration, enclosure status, and active event notification is supported only with Server Administrator version 6.2 or later.

Server Administrator provides a comprehensive server or storage management solution with an integrated graphical view and command line interface (CLI). 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 or RAID arrays, and logical devices. The information is displayed in both physical and logical views.

By 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 dell.com/support/manuals.
