Managed System and Management Station

Depending on the way in which you use the Dell systems management tools, a system can be classified into:

Managed System

A managed system is any system that is monitored and managed using Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (one

of the systems management tools on the Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD) or Dell

Management Console. You can manage systems running Server Administrator locally or remotely through a

supported Web browser. For more information on Server Administrator, see the Dell OpenManage Server

Administrator Installation Guide on the Dell Support website at

http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/software/omswrels/index.htm or on the Dell Systems Management

Tools and Documentation DVD.

Management Station

A management station can be any computer (laptop, desktop, or server) that you can use to remotely manage one

or more managed systems from a central location.

Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD

The Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD contains the Dell OpenManage systems management

software. This software is a suite of applications for your Dell systems that enables you to manage your systems through

monitoring systems components, diagnosing issues, notifying you through alerts, and remotely accessing your systems for

troubleshooting purposes.
