90 Working with Remote Access Controller
You can log in to the Remote Access Controller through the Server
Administrator home page or by directly accessing the controller's IP address
using a supported browser.
When using the Remote Access Controller, you can click Help on the global
navigation bar for more detailed information about the specific window you are
viewing. Remote Access Controller help is available for all windows accessible
to the user based on user privilege level and the specific hardware and software
groups that Server Administrator discovers on the managed system.
NOTE: See the Dell OpenManage Baseboard Management Controller Utilities
User's Guide for more information about the BMC.
NOTE: See the Dell Remote Access Controller 4 User’s Guide for more information
on using DRAC 4 or Dell Remote Access Controller 5 User’s Guide for more
information on using DRAC 5.
NOTE: See the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller User’s Guide for detailed
information on configuring and using the iDRAC.
Table 5-1 lists the GUI field names and the applicable system, when Server
Administrator is installed on the system.
See the Dell Systems Software Support Matrix for more information on the
systems support for remote access devices.
Server Administrator allows remote, in-band access to event logs, power
control, and sensor status information and provides the ability to configure
the BMC/iDRAC. You can manage BMC/iDRAC and DRAC through the
Server Administrator graphical user interface by clicking the Remote Access
object, which is a subcomponent of the Main System Chassis/Main System
group.
