About Email Home NOTE: Support for Email Home will be discontinued in a future release. Email home will be replaced by SupportAssist, which provides functionality similar to Email Home. Dell recommends installing SAN Headquarters version 3.2 (or later) and enabling SupportAssist to monitor your PS Series groups and report and upload critical events to Dell Technical Support. You do not have to wait until the next release to switch from Email Home to SupportAssist. In the current release, if a hardware component fails or if you update firmware, the group can automatically notify customer support through email. Dell recommends that you enable Email Home to expedite Dell Technical Support becoming engaged in solving any problems. Email Home is available to all PS Series customers, but response time and assistance is based on the terms of your support contract. To support Email Home, the group must have access to an SMTP server or email relay. You need the following information: • An email address to receive Email Home notification messages. • An IP address and optional port for the SMTP server in the format ip_address:port. The default port is 25. You can enter up to three IP addresses. The group uses one SMTP server or email relay at any time. The first server that you specify is the default server. The group uses the other servers in the order specified, if the default server is not available. Post-Setup Tasks 49
