iDRAC Service Module 2.2
The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller(iDRAC) Service Module is a lightweight optional software
application that can be installed on 12
th
generation of Dell PowerEdge servers or later with minimum
Firmware version of 1.57.57 for iDRAC7 and 2.05.05.05 or later for iDRAC8. The iDRAC Service Module
complements iDRAC interfaces – Graphical User Interface (GUI), RACADM CLI and Web Service
Management (WS-MAN) with additional monitoring data. You can configure the features on the
supported operating system depending on the features to be installed and the unique integration needs
in a work environment.
The iDRAC Service Module architecture uses IP socket communication and provides additional Server
Management data (OS/device driver) to iDRAC and presents one-to-many consoles with access to
Systems Management data through OS standard interfaces.
