The iDRAC, lifecycle controller and BIOS GUI are stored on the mainboard not on the drives. The OEM partition stores the system diagnostics, it is recommended to not delete this, but it will function without it.
Hello, Our new PowerEdge R620 comes with a 1TB drive, which has an "OEM partition", size 39 MB, and an empty 2 GB partition labeled "OS". What is in the OEM partition? Should we back it up before installing OS? I could not find this in the owner's manual or other documentation. I want to install VMware ESXi. The setup detects something on the disk and asks if it is ok to erase it... A related question - where is stored the iDRAC and all the cute GUI setup stuff? Any advice? - ddbug
