Server Administrator Home Page
The Server Administrator home page provides easy-to-set up and easy-to-use
web browser-based system management tasks from the managed system or from
a remote host through a LAN, dial-up service, or wireless network. When the
Dell Systems Management Server Administrator Connection Service (DSM SA
Connection Service) is installed and configured on the managed system, you can
perform remote management functions from any system that has a supported
Web browser and connection. Additionally, the Server Administrator home page
provides extensive, context-sensitive online help.
