This article explains how to use iDRAC Direct to manage your PowerEdge server.

PowerEdge systems may not always log downgraded PCIe links in LifeCycle (LC) or system event logs (SEL).

It is a common misconception that if a PowerEdge server fails to boot, does not complete POST, or experiences other issues, the iDRAC will also be inaccessible. In reality, iDRAC is often still online and available to assist with troubleshooting—even if it was never configured beforehand. Leveraging iDRAC to review recent events, analyze logs, and collect a SupportAssist Collection (TSR) is critical for accelerating diagnosis and recovery.
