Overview

Dell™ PowerEdge™ Diagnostics requires Dell-qualified device drivers and firmware to run diagnostic tests on RAID controllers, SCSI controllers, and attached hard drives.

System administrators who are responsible for diagnosing their storage devices with the latest installed operating system need a complete matrix showing the elements that are compatible with a particular storage controller. Each version of the storage controller in turn supports a specific array of elements, including:

NOTE: The firmware, BIOS, and driver versions mentioned in the tables below are minimum-required versions. See the Dell Support website at support.dell.com for the latest versions.
