Remote Access Service Availability
Overview
Although all supported operating systems for Server Administrator support remote access, remote
access availability is system-dependent. The Remote Access Service is supported on the following
Dell™ PowerEdge™ systems only: 700 SC, 750, 800, 840, 830, 850, 860, 1600SC, 1650, 1655, 1750,
1800, 1850, 1855, 1900, 1950, 1955, 2600, 2650, 2800, 2850, 2900, 2950, 4600, 6600, 6650, 6800, and
6850.
The Server Administrator GUI does not display any services on your system that are not available for
that system or for that system configuration.
NOTE: Starting with Dell OpenManage™ version 4.3, the Systems Management CD has been replaced by the
Dell PowerEdge Installation and Server Management CD. References in this guide to the Systems
Management CD are for Dell OpenManage versions 3.0 through 4.2.
RAC Types
The remote access controller (RAC) cards that are available for specific Dell PowerEdge systems are:
DRAC III, DRAC III/XT, ERA, ERA/O, ERA/MC (for Dell PowerEdge 1655MC) DRAC 4/I (for
PowerEdge 1850, 2800, and 2850), DRAC 4/P (for PowerEdge 800, 830, 840, 850, 860, 1800, 6800,
and 6850), DRAC/MC (for PowerEdge 1855 and 1955), and DRAC 5 (for PowerEdge 1900, 1950,
