Release Notes

Overview

The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) is designed to make server administrators more productive and improve

the overall availability of Dell servers.

iDRAC alerts administrators to server issues, helps them perform remote server management, and reduces the need for

physical access to the server. Additionally, iDRAC enables administrators to deploy, monitor, manage, configure, update, and

troubleshoot Dell EMC servers from any location without using any agents. It accomplishes this regardless of the operating

system or hypervisor presence or state.

iDRAC also provides an out-of-band mechanism for configuring the platform, applying firmware updates, saving or restoring a

system backup, or deploying an operating system, either by using a GUI or a remote scripting interface, such as Redfish or

RACADM.
