6. Supported Dell Remote Access Controllers and Solutions
The Dell PowerEdge embedded server management solution, Integrated Dell Remote Access
Controller (iDRAC) with Lifecycle Controller, helps IT administrators to speed up the essential
management tasks, it increases overall availability of your servers, and it reduces
your IT operational expenses.
With powerful, easy-to-use, remote management and configuration options, iDRAC with Lifecycle
Controller alerts IT administrators when an issue occurs, enables streamlined local and remote
server management, and reduces or eliminates the need for administrators to physically visit the
server — even if the server is not operational.
DRAC also logs event data and the most recent crash screen (for systems running the Microsoft
Windows operating system only) to help diagnose the probable cause of a system crash.
For more information on DRAC or iDRAC, see the
Dell Remote Access Controller User's Guide or
the
Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller User's Guide available at
www.dell.com/support/manuals.
