Configuring the DRAC Remote Features Properties
NOTE: You must have Admin privileges in Server Administrator to use the Remote Access Service.
If the local boot image on the managed system has been corrupted, a DRAC has the ability to boot its
host server using a diskette boot image that it downloads from a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server.
This feature is called remote floppy boot. A DRAC can also update its firmware using a firmware image
located on a TFTP server. This feature is called remote firmware update, and the process is similar to
flashing a system BIOS.
