C. Embedded Server Management

The PowerEdge T610 implements circuitry for the next generation of Embedded Server Management. It is Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) v2.0 compliant. The iDRAC6 (Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller) is responsible for acting as an interface between the host system and its management software and the periphery devices. These periphery devices consist of the PSUs, the storage backplane, integrated SAS HBA or PERC 6/i and control panel with display.

The iDRAC6 provides features for managing the server remotely or in data center lights-out environments.

Advanced iDRAC features require the installation of the iDRAC6 Enterprise card.

I. Unmanaged Persistent Storage

The unmanaged persistent storage consists of two ports:

one internal USB port

one internal SD Module

The internal port is for an optional USB key and is located inside the chassis. Some of the possible applications of the USB key are:

User custom boot and pre-boot OS for ease of deployment or diskless environments

Storage of custom logs or scratch pad for portable user-defined information (not hot-pluggable)

The Internal SD Module is dedicated for an SD Flash Card with embedded Hypervisor for virtualization. The SD Flash Card contains a bootable OS image for virtualized platforms.

II. Lifecycle Controller/Unified Server Configurator

Embedded management is comprised of several pieces which are very interdependent.

Lifecycle Controller

Unified Server Configurator

iDRAC6

vFLASH

Lifecycle controller is the hardware component that powers the embedded management features. It is integrated and tamperproof storage for system-management tools and enablement utilities (firmware, drivers, etc.). It is flash partitioned to support multiple, future use cases.

Dell Unified Server Configurator is a 1:1 user interface exposing utilities from Lifecycle Controller. Customers will use this interface to configure hardware, update server, run diagnostics, or deploy the operating system. This utility resides on Lifecycle Controller. To access the Unified Server Configurator, press <F10> key within 10 seconds of the Dell logo display during the system boot process. Current functionality enabled by the Unified Server Configurator includes:
