Remote Access
Click the Remote Access object to manage the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) or Integrated Dell Remote Access
Controller (iDRAC) features and Remote Access Controller features.
Selecting Remote Access tab allows you to manage the BMC/iDRAC features such as, general information on the BMC/iDRAC.
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: 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.
