4 Introduction
Supported software and firmware
This chapter describes the supported storage enclosure configurations, including operating systems, enclosure firmware, and SAS host
bus adapters (HBAs).
Topics:
• Supported storage enclosure firmware
• Supported operating systems
• Supported SAS host bus adapters
Supported storage enclosure firmware
Dell EMC storage enclosures have two Enclosure Management Modules (EMMs). The two EMMs must have the same firmware version.
NOTE: The EMMs do not automatically synchronize firmware, and must be updated individually.
Table 1. Storage enclosure firmware
Enclosure model Minimum supported firmware version
Dell EMC PowerVault MD3060e 03.9D
Dell EMC Storage MD1400/MD1420 1.02
Dell EMC Storage MD1200/MD1220 1.05
Dell EMC Storage MD1280 2.14f
Dell EMC Storage ME484 as JBOD 5.2.0.26
Supported operating systems
If an operating system supports clustering, clustering is also supported on the Dell EMC storage enclosure.
NOTE: Clustering is not supported in ME484 JBOD storage enclosure configurations.
The following table shows the supported operating systems and the latest version of Server Hardware Manager (SHM) that each
