Adding an iDRAC using iDRAC Quick Sync Read

The iDRAC Quick Sync Read feature enables your mobile device to act as a proximity reader to read data from your server when the device is in contact with the iDRAC Quick Sync Bezel.

NOTE: For the latest bug fixes, we recommend upgrading your iDRAC firmware. For more information about upgrading the iDRAC firmware see, iDRAC User’s Guide.

NOTE: This feature is applicable only for Dell’s 13th generation of PowerEdge servers with the iDRAC Quick Sync Bezel.

NOTE: Reading iDRAC information via Quick Sync is not password protected. Making configuration changes via iDRAC Quick Sync requires iDRAC credentials with appropriate permission.

To add an iDRAC using iDRAC Quick Sync Read:
  1. Start OpenManage Mobile.
  2. If applicable, type the OpenManage Mobile Password and tap Login.
    The OpenManage Mobile homescreen is displayed.
  3. Tap the Add symbol.
    The Add screen is displayed.
  4. Select iDRAC Quick Sync Read.
  5. Tap Launch iDRAC Quick Sync.

  6. Turn on the iDRAC Quick Sync Bezel.
  7. Place your mobile device in contact with the activation switch of the iDRAC Quick Sync Bezel on your server and hold your mobile for at least 3 seconds.

    NOTE: The Near-Field Communication (NFC) chip in the mobile device should be in contact with the iDRAC Quick Sync activation switch. Refer to your mobile device’s documentation to find the location of the NFC chip.

    Your server will be added to the list of servers managed by OpenManage Mobile.

    NOTE: The iDRAC Quick Sync Bezel remains activated for about 30 seconds. If you do not manage to add the iDRAC within the 30 seconds, reactivate the iDRAC Quick Sync Bezel and retry step 7.
