Managed System and Management Station

Depending on the way in which you use the Dell systems management tools, a system can be classified into:

Managed System

A managed system is any system that is monitored and managed using Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (one of

the systems management tools on the Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD) or Dell Management

Console. You can manage systems running Server Administrator locally or remotely through a supported Web browser.

For more information on Server Administrator, see the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Installation Guide on the

Dell Support website or on the Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD.

Management Station

A management station can be any computer (laptop, desktop, or server) that you can use to remotely manage one or

more managed systems from a central location.

The Dell systems management software comprises 3 DVDs:

Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD

Dell Server Updates DVD

Dell Management Console DVD
