Controller BIOS Configuration Utility Behavior

The BIOS Configuration Utility is a storage management application embedded on PowerEdge RAID
Controller (PERC) cards, which 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 is set to No. This does not indicate an issue with the
drive.
