Bezel overview
Bezel filter
Figure 9. Bezel filter
The PowerEdge XR5610 has a front bezel that comes with a lock feature and a diagnostics LED. The bezel is designed with a
filter that provides protection against sand and dust.
Pressure sensor
The pressure sensor device on the front bezel is only available on the Front Accessed configuration systems. The pressure
sensor indicates when to replace the bezel filter in iDRAC. The connection between the pressure sensor with the XR5610
system is established through the POGO pin that connects the pressure sensor to the system chassis.
Filter modes
There are two filter modes available in the iDRAC when a bezel installed.
●Count Down mode
●Active Sensing mode
NOTE: Only available for the Front Accessed configuration with pressure sensor.
Count Down mode and Active Sensing mode is mutually exclusive, thus the user can activate either the Count Down mode or
the Active Sensing mode. Not both simultaneously in a single server. The sensor events can be enabled or disabled by using the
"Air filter alert" option. In the Active Sensing mode, the sensor events are triggered when a physical bezel is installed. The "Air
filter alert" option is disabled by default. When the option is disabled, iDRAC monitors the presence or absence of the filter. It
monitors the status of the filter.
Count Down mode
The Count Down mode works as follows:
●The alerts are sent out based on the filter life expiry date. iDRAC provides the following data for users to manage the filter:
NOTE: This mode can be used for passive or active bezel filters. It counts down when the system is switched on.
16 PowerEdge XR5610 system configurations and features

○Filter Change Interval — This attribute is configurable in months and set to 3 months by default. This option allows
users to configure filter change interval from 1 to 24 months.
○Filter Life Remaining — This attribute indicates the filter life span in days. The count down timer is activated when the
server is switched on. Once the it counts down to zero, the filter status goes to a degraded state.
○Reset Filter Life — Enable users to reset the filter life. This loads the Filter Life Remaining time with the current Filter
Change Interval time. The count down starts when the system is switched on. Enabling this option activates a system
log—BEZL0007.
●Readings and alerts:
○BEZL0003 filter dirty—indicates that a filter replacement is required. Occurs when the count down mode has reached
the time limit.
Figure 10. iDRAC interface of the Count Down mode
Active Sensing mode
The Active Sensing mode works as follows:
NOTE: This mode requires active bezel filter. An unsupported configuration indicates that the filter baseline is not
supported and generates an error log—BEZL0006.
●When enabled, the iDRAC monitors the filter pressure sensor to determine the filter status.
●Reset Filter Life — resets the filter reading and sets it as a baseline reading.
NOTE: Resets the clean filter baseline against which degradation is measured. This activates system log—BEZL0007.
●Scheduling Active Filter Check — Default Monday 3:00 AM. Fans run at full speed to get viable airflow reading. This
happens by default every Monday at 3.00am. User may change to the preferred time.
