Controller BIOS Configuration Utility Behavior
The BIOS Configuration Utility is a storage management application embedded on PowerEdge Raid Controller (PERC)
cards that configures and maintains RAID disk groups and virtual disks. (For more information on the utility, see the Dell
PowerEdge RAID Controller User's Guide.)
The utility's Physical Disk Management screen displays physical disk information and action menus. On the right side of
the screen, the SSD's Certified field will be set to "No." This is normal behavior and does not indicate an issue with the
drive.

SMART Predictive Failure Notification Support
SMART trips for actual drive errors will be noted on the Physical Disks page of the OpenManage Server Administrator
(OMSA) Storage subsection. If such an error occurs, "Yes" will be displayed in the Failure Predicted column of this
page.
NOTE: The drive status indicator remains off until all hard drives are initialized after the
system is turned on. Drives are not ready for insertion or removal during this time.
