PowerEdge R715 Technical Guide 43
12 Video
The R715 Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 6 (iDRAC6) incorporates an integrated video
subsystem, connected to the 32-bit PCI interface of the SP5100. This logic is based on the Matrox
®
G200. The device only supports 2D graphics.
The video device outputs are multiplexed between the front and rear video ports. If a monitor is
connected to the front video connector, it will take precedence over the rear connection, thereby
removing the display from the rear connection.
The integrated video core shares its video memory with the iDRAC6’s 128 MB DDR2 application space
memory. This memory is also used for the KVM buffer.
The R715 system supports the following 2D graphics video modes shown in Table 15:
