Indicates the system health.
Indicates if the iDRAC Quick Sync 2 wireless option is activated.
The Quick Sync 2 feature allows management of the system
using mobile devices. This feature aggregates hardware/
firmware inventory and various system level diagnostic/error
information that can be used in troubleshooting the system.
You can access system inventory, Dell Lifecycle Controller
logs or system logs, system health status, and also configure
iDRAC, BIOS, and networking parameters. You can also launch
the virtual Keyboard, Video, and Mouse (KVM) viewer and
virtual Kernel based Virtual Machine (KVM), on a supported
mobile device. For more information, see the Integrated
Dell Remote Access Controller User's Guide at

Corrective action
● Check the System Event Log to determine if the drive has an
error.
● Run the appropriate Online Diagnostics test. Restart the system
and run embedded diagnostics (ePSA).
● If the drives are configured in a RAID array, restart the system,
and enter the host adapter configuration utility program.
Ensure that none of the following conditions exist:
● A cooling fan has been removed or has failed.
● Ambient temperature is too high.
● External airflow is obstructed.
If the problem persists, see
Check the System Event Log or system messages for the specific
issue. If it is due to a problem with the PSU, check the LED on the
PSU. Reseat the PSU.
If the problem persists, see
Check the System Event Log or system messages for the location of
the failed memory. Reseat the memory module.
If the problem persists, see
Restart the system. Update any required drivers for the PCIe card.
Reinstall the card.
