Controller BIOS Configuration Utility Behavior
The BIOS Configuration Utility is a storage management application embedded on PowerEdge Raid Controller (PERC)
cards that configures and maintains RAID disk groups and virtual disks. (For more information on the utility, see the Dell
PowerEdge RAID Controller User’s Guide.)
The utility's Physical Disk Management screen displays physical disk information and action menus. On the right side of
the screen, the SSD's Certified field will be set to “No.” This is normal behavior and does not indicate an issue with the
drive.
