Processors
Click the Processors object to manage your system's microprocessor(s). A processor is the primary computational chip inside a system that controls the interpretation and execution of arithmetic and logic functions. The Processors object action window can have the following tabs, depending on the user's group privileges: Properties and Alert Management.
Subtab: Information
Properties
Under the Properties tab, you can view information about your system's microprocessor(s) and access detailed capabilities and cache information.
Alert Management
Subtabs: Alert Actions
Under the Alert Management tab, you can view current alert actions settings and set the alert actions that you want to be performed in the event that a processor returns a warning or failure value.
Remote Access
Click the Remote Access object to manage the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) or Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) features and Remote Access Controller features.
Selecting Remote Access tab allows you to manage the BMC/iDRAC features such as, general information on the BMC/ iDRAC. You can also manage the configuration of the BMC/iDRAC on a local area network (LAN), serial port for the BMC/iDRAC, terminal mode settings for the serial port, BMC/iDRAC on a serial over LAN connection, and BMC/iDRAC users.
NOTE: BMC is supported on Dell PowerEdge 9G systems and iDRAC is supported on Dell PowerEdge 10G and 11G systems only.
NOTE: If an application other than Server Administrator is used to configure the BMC/iDRAC while Server Administrator is running, the BMC/iDRAC configuration data displayed by Server Administrator may become asynchronous with the BMC/iDRAC. It is recommended that Server Administrator be used to configure the BMC/ iDRAC while Server Administrator is running.
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.
Subtab: Information
Properties
Under the Properties tab, you can view general information on the remote access device. You can also view the attributes of the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
Click Reset to Defaults to reset all the attributes to their system default values.
Subtabs: LAN Serial Port Serial Over LAN Additional Configuration
Configuration
Under the Configuration tab when BMC/iDRAC is configured, you can configure the BMC/iDRAC on a LAN, serial port for BMC/iDRAC, and BMC/iDRAC on a serial over LAN connection.
NOTE: The Additional configuration tab is available only on systems with iDRAC.
Under the Configuration tab, when DRAC is configured, you can configure network properties.
NOTE: The Enable NIC, NIC Selection, and Encryption Key fields are displayed only on Dell PowerEdge 9G systems.
Under the Additional Configuration tab you can either enable or disable IPv4/IPv6 properties.
