The following table lists the device discovery requirements for the iDRAC Service Module deployment
task. To deploy the iDRAC Service Module, the server and the iDRAC must discovered using the
appropriate protocols specified. For example, to deploy the iDRAC Service Module on a Windows-based
server running Server Administrator that is discovered using SNMP/WMI, the iDRAC must be discovered
using SNMP/WS-Man.
