Processors
Click the Processors object to manage your system's microprocessor(s).
A processor is the primary computational chip inside a system that controls
the interpretation and execution of arithmetic and logic functions. The
Processors object action window can have the following tabs, depending on
the user's group privileges: Properties and Alert Management.
Properties
Subtab: Information
Under the Properties tab, you can view information about your system's
microprocessor(s) and access detailed capabilities and cache information.
Alert Management
Subtabs: Alert Actions | SNMP Traps
Under the Alert Management tab, you can:
• View current alert actions settings and set the alert actions that you want to
be performed in the event that a processor returns a warning or failure value.
• View current SNMP trap alert thresholds and set the alert threshold levels
for processors. The selected traps will be triggered if the system generates a
corresponding event at the selected severity level.
Remote Access
Click the Remote Access object to manage the Baseboard Management
Controller (BMC) or Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC)
features and Remote Access Controller features.
Selecting BMC/iDRAC allows you to manage the BMC/iDRAC features such
as, general information on the BMC/iDRAC. You can also manage the
configuration of the BMC/iDRAC on a local area network (LAN), serial port
for the BMC/iDRAC, terminal mode settings for the serial port, BMC/iDRAC
on a serial over LAN connection, and BMC/iDRAC users.
NOTE: BMC is supported in Dell PowerEdge x8xx and x9xx systems and iDRAC is
supported in Dell xx0x systems only.
NOTE: If an application other than Server Administrator is used to configure the
BMC/iDRAC while Server Administrator is running, the BMC/iDRAC configuration
data displayed by Server Administrator may become asynchronous with the
BMC/iDRAC. It is recommended that Server Administrator be used to configure the
BMC/iDRAC while Server Administrator is running.
