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 on Dell PowerEdge 9G systems and iDRAC is supported on Dell PowerEdge 10G and 11G 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.
DRAC allows you to access your system's remote system management capabilities. The Server Administrator DRAC provides
remote access to inoperable systems, alert notification when a system is down, and the ability to restart a system.
The Remote Access object action window can have the following tabs, depending on the user's group privileges:Properties,
