Implementing Out-Of-Band Desktop Management with DASH

USB-redirection is the mechanism the Broadcom NetXtreme™ Gigabit Ethernet Plus
controller uses to support the USB Redirection Profile. USB-redirection is a DASH
1.1 feature that allows the contents of a remote media source (ISO image) to be
redirected to the remotely managed PC as a USB mass storage device.
Appendix B: Enabling Management Functionality
with Computer Setup
When the Broadcom NetXtreme™ Gigabit Ethernet Plus add-in card is installed into
a system, it will not be the default management controller (except on the dc5850
where the controller will be the default and will only support ASF management
functions). For systems supporting the full management capabilities, the user may
manually set the Broadcom NetXtreme™ Gigabit Ethernet Plus as the primary
management controller in Computer Setup (F10) for the PCI Express network
adapter to perform the role of DASH manageability. Multiple network adapters
can function simultaneously, but only one management controller can be active at a
given time.
Computer Setup Differences
The Computer Setup screens relating to management
devices and modes differ slightly between various HP
business desktops and workstations.
The primary management controller can be configured through: Computer Setup >
Advanced > Management Devices.
The current management mode (ASF, AMT, or DASH) can be identified via
Computer Setup > File > System Information.
HP Compaq dc5850 Business PC
By default, the embedded Broadcom Ethernet controller is primary management
controller. The Broadcom NetXtreme™ Gigabit Ethernet Plus must be changed to
be the primary management controller for DASH to be enabled.
