Dell Lifecycle Controller
Dell Lifecycle Controller (LC) provides advanced embedded systems management capabilities including system deployment,
configuration, update, maintenance, and diagnosis. LC is delivered as part of the iDRAC out-of-band solution and Dell system
embedded Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) applications.
NOTE: The XC Series Appliance and XC Core System does not support the NVDIMM-N, RAID, or UEFI settings.
Embedded systems management
The Dell Lifecycle Controller provides advanced embedded systems management throughout the system’s lifecycle. The Dell
Lifecycle Controller can be started during the boot sequence and can function independently of the operating system.
NOTE: Certain platform configurations may not support the full set of features provided by the Dell Lifecycle Controller.
For more information about setting up the Dell Lifecycle Controller, configuring hardware and firmware, and deploying the
