Overview 11
Features of USC/USC-LCE are:
• iDRAC6 works together with the UEFI firmware to access and manage
hardware, including component and subsystem management that is
beyond the traditional BMC capabilities.
• Remote server management uses the network for programed web services.
• CLI and GUI are provided by the iDRAC6 card in an environment
independent of the operating system and system-power-state.
• The UEFI environment provides the local console interface and the
infrastructure for locally and remotely managing system components. The
remote services functionality enables consoles, such as DMC and partner
consoles, to access LC 1.2 features in a pre-operating system environment.
• USC/USC-LCE provides an embedded solution on the local system to
assist with provisioning in a pre-operating system environment.
