Baseboard Management Controller Configuration
You can perform basic BMC configuration using the Remote Access
Configuration Utility in x9xx systems during system startup. See Figure 2-1.
For more advanced configuration options, see the instructions for the DTK
SYSCFG utility in the Deployment Toolkit User’s Guide.
NOTE: The Remote Access Configuration Utility in Dell PowerEdge x9xx systems is
called the BMC Setup Module in x8xx systems, iDRAC Configuration Utility in xx0x
systems and iDRAC6 Configuration Utility in xx1x systems. For more information on
the iDRAC Configuration Utility, see the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller
