EqualLogic - Determine Non-Approved Drives?

We have an EqualLogic that I do NOT physically have access to, and I need to find out which hard drives are not approved. I cannot find any information in the Group Manager that indicates which drives are not approved. There is a warning that states there are one or more drives in the array are not approved, but that is it. I can't double click that message, the logs don't say anything. All 16 drives have the exact same Seagate model number, so that doesn't help either.

I've been searching online, and I can't seem to find many CLI commands. So without pulling the drives out, how do I find the unapproved ones?

This is a PS 5000 series.
 
How do I get the firmware version? I don't see that listed in the Group Manager either.

Emailed Dell and was informed to look for the firmware "revision" which is in Group Manager. Anything ending in 0003 or 0004 is not Dell certified. Sadly, that is 15 of our drives. Only one drive has a revision of MS04.
