Introduction 11
Remote Access Controller
The Remote Access Controller provides a complete remote system management
solution for systems equipped with Dell Remote Access Controller (DRAC)
or Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)/Integrated Dell Remote Access
Controller (iDRAC) solution. The Remote Access Controller provides remote
access to an inoperable system, allowing you to get the system up and running
as quickly as possible. The Remote Access Controller also provides alert
notification when a system is down and allows you to remotely restart a
system. Additionally, the Remote Access Controller logs the probable cause of
system crashes and saves the most recent crash screen.
Logs
Server Administrator displays logs of commands issued to or by the system,
monitored hardware events, and system alerts. You can view logs on the home
page, print or save them as reports, and send them by e-mail to a designated
service contact.
