Today, we gonna talk about what are the features available in "Main System Chassis".
Before we start, a quick introduction about the OMSA's GUI field name.
#1 "Batteries", is actually refers to the status of the CMOS battery.
#2 In "BIOS", you can easily know what is the current BIOS version and the release date.
#3 "Fans" - shows the total amount of fans, and the RPM.
#4 "Firmware" - refers Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) version.
#5 "Intrusions" - If user did open the chassis for certain purpose such as re-seat the PCI components, intrusion alert will triggered. If the chassis cover was not close properly afterwards, the status will become a red 'X'.
#6 "Memory" - is very straight forward, showing the total amount of memory that a server currently have.
#7 "Network" - all about the Network Interface Card (NIC) includes integrated or PCI NIC.

#9 "Power Supplies" - You can easy access the Power Supply's status from here
#10 "Processors" - if you need to get the Processor spec, you can have it here
#11 "Remote Access" - Due to most of the Dell 11th Gen server is come with iDRAC, so this function is a 'must-have' option from OMSA.
#12 "Slots" - showing info of which type of PCI card occupied the slot
