When Dell is called to service a server, they will ask for the service tag. This is the serial number for the server which is listed on the pull-out tag of the server.
They will also frequently ask for a TSR log.
If the faulty server is not allowing access to the iDRAC, then the Lifecycle Controller can be used to pull a TSR log and export it to a USB. Dell's instructions are here: Export Support Assist Collection and RAID Controller Log through PowerEdge Lifecycle Controller
- Note that if this is the first time the lifecycle controller has been launched, you will be greeted with a 5-step setup wizard. One of the steps includes network configuration. For this, everything must be left back, but they are forced to choose a NIC interface in a dropdown menu. In that dropdown menu, please have them select a NIC interface that is empty.
