Alert Management
Subtabs: Alert Actions | SNMP Traps
Under the Alert Management tab, you can:
• View current alert actions settings and set the alert actions that you want to be performed in the event that a system power
returns a warning or failure value.
• Congure Platform Event Alert destinations for IPv6 addresses.
• View current SNMP trap alert thresholds and set the alert threshold levels for system power watts. The selected traps are
triggered if the system generates a corresponding event at the selected severity level.
NOTE: The System Peak Power trap generates events only for informational severity.
Processors
Click the Processors object to manage your system's microprocessors. A processor is the primary computational chip inside a
system that controls the interpretation and execution of arithmetic and logic functions. The Processors object action window can
have the following tabs, depending on the user's group privileges: Properties and Alert Management.

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 conguration 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 congure the BMC/iDRAC while Server Administrator
is running, the BMC/iDRAC conguration data displayed by Server Administrator may become asynchronous with the
BMC/iDRAC. It is recommended that Server Administrator be used to congure 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 notication 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,
Conguration,
and Users.
Subtab: Information
Properties
Under the Properties tab, you can view general information on the remote access device. You can also view the attributes of the
IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
Click Reset to Defaults to reset all the attributes to their system default values.
Subtabs: LAN | Serial Port | Serial Over LAN | Additional Conguration
Conguration
Under the Conguration tab when BMC/iDRAC is congured, you can congure the BMC/iDRAC on a LAN, serial port for BMC/
iDRAC, and BMC/iDRAC on a serial over LAN connection.
