Dell™RemoteAccessController(DRAC)isasystemsmanagementhardwareandsoftwaresolutiondesignedtoprovideremotemanagementcapabilities,
crashed system recovery, and power control functions.
By communicating with the system's Baseboard Management Controller (BMC), DRAC (when installed) can be configured to send e-mail alerts for warnings or
errors related to voltages, temperatures, intrusion, and fan speeds. DRAC also logs event data and the most recent crash screen (for systems running the
Microsoft Windows operating system only) to help diagnose the probable cause of a system crash.
For more information on DRAC, see the Remote Access Controller User's Guide available on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com, on the Dell Systems
Documentation CD, or on the DellSystemsManagementToolsandDocumentation DVD.
