Remote Access
Clicking the Remote Access object allows you to manage the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)
features and Remote Access Controller features. If you have a Dell Remote Access Controller (DRAC)
card installed, DRAC manages the remote access capabilities of the system. When DRAC is not
available, BMC is configured for remote access.
Selecting BMC allows you to manage the BMC features such as, general information on the BMC. You
can also manage the configuration of the BMC on a LAN, serial port for the BMC, terminal mode
settings for the serial port, BMC on a serial over LAN connection, and BMC users.
NOTE: If an application other than Server Administrator is used to configure the BMC while Server Administrator is
running, the BMC configuration data displayed by Server Administrator may become asynchronous with the BMC. It
is recommended that Server Administrator be used to configure the BMC while Server Administrator is running.
Selecting DRAC allows you to access your system's remote system management capabilities. The Server
Administrator DRAC provides remote access to inoperable systems, alert notification when a system is
down, and the ability to restart a system.
The Remote Access object action window can have the following tabs, depending on the user's group
privileges: Properties, Configuration, and Users.
