Dell server overview

The Avaya Common Servers category includes Dell servers that support several Avaya software
solutions, some requiring additional hardware and memory requirements beyond the standard
configuration. This document covers the standard configuration only—consult specific Avaya
product documentation for application-specific or solution-specific server configurations.
• Avaya Common Servers are supplied under an OEM relationship and Avaya servers are
treated differently than other commercially available servers from the vendors.
• Avaya Common Servers are turnkey appliances. No server designed for a particular application
can be repurposed for use with another application. The only exception to this is when an
application has provided an upgrade or migration path from an existing server state to a
different server state with the appropriate kits, tools, documentation, and training materials. For
example, System Platform is providing a kit plus documentation for migrating a server running
System Platform to Appliance Virtualization Platform.
• Neither customers, business partners, distributors, nor Avaya Associates interacting with
customers and business partners, should get BIOS or other firmware updates for any third
party OEM servers that are part of Avaya's turnkey appliance offers. Only consult Avaya-
provided downloads, information and support. All BIOS or firmware updates are provided
through Avaya. Go to the Avaya Support website at
information.
• Remote access and use of Dell iDRAC hardware management tools for the Dell servers is
employed by a limited number of Avaya applications. If iDRAC is supported, that application's
documentation will define its configuration and use. Please check with the Avaya application
product manager or appropriate documentation to confirm support.
• Do not contact Dell for service. If the server is purchased from Avaya, customer first point of
contact is Avaya. All support, warranty, repair, and maintenance must be scheduled through
Avaya. Avaya will contact Dell to assist as required.
Service and repair of consumable accessories and cables are not covered under maintenance.
Customers must purchase these items.
• Avaya strongly recommends that all servers are protected with an Uninterruptable Power
Supply for power surge and interruption protection. Avaya is not responsible for servers
damaged by power surges, brown outs, or black outs.
