Figure 9. Bezel filter
The PowerEdge XR5610 has a front bezel that comes with a lock feature and a diagnostics LED. The bezel is designed with a
filter that provides protection against sand and dust.
Pressure sensor
The pressure sensor device on the front bezel is only available on the Front Accessed configuration systems. The pressure
sensor indicates when to replace the bezel filter in iDRAC. The connection between the pressure sensor with the XR5610
system is established through the POGO pin that connects the pressure sensor to the system chassis.
Filter modes
There are two filter modes available in the iDRAC when a bezel installed.
● Count Down mode
● Active Sensing mode
NOTE: Only available for the Front Accessed configuration with pressure sensor.
Count Down mode and Active Sensing mode is mutually exclusive, thus the user can activate either the Count Down mode or
the Active Sensing mode. Not both simultaneously in a single server. The sensor events can be enabled or disabled by using the
"Air filter alert" option. In the Active Sensing mode, the sensor events are triggered when a physical bezel is installed. The "Air
filter alert" option is disabled by default. When the option is disabled, iDRAC monitors the presence or absence of the filter. It
monitors the status of the filter.
Count Down mode
The Count Down mode works as follows:
● The alerts are sent out based on the filter life expiry date. iDRAC provides the following data for users to manage the filter:
NOTE: This mode can be used for passive or active bezel filters. It counts down when the system is switched on.
