Configure Virtual Media

a network share as if they were devices on the managed server.

Install the Managed Server Software
Install the Microsoft Windows or Linux operating system on the PowerEdge
server using virtual media and then install the Dell OpenManage software on
the managed PowerEdge server and set up the last crash screen feature.
