Direct Platform Control (DPC) Console
The DPC console is part of Intel Server Management (ISM). Direct Platform Control is a server management
application that supports remote system management via LAN, or an RS-232 serial connection to the
server’s Serial B port over a modem or a direct serial cable. The DPC console provides the ability for remote
management of servers via modem or LAN with a capability to run DOS-based programs.
The DPC console runs on a management workstation and is independent of the server operating system. It
communicates with a server by:
• Accessing the server management capabilities of the on-board NIC
• A Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 compatible modem
• An RS-232 connection to the server’s Serial B port
Even when the server is off, you can use the DPC console to verify the state of a server or diagnose a problem
with the server hardware.
The DPC console features allow you to:
• Establish connection to remote servers
• Server control: power on, power off, and reset operations
• Retrieve and display entries in the SEL
• Retrieve and display SDRs
• Retrieve and display FDR information
