Intel SX220 manual Client System Setup Utility, 110

Since DPC does not communicate with the server-resident operating system, it can be used to manage the server even if the server's operating system and primary processors are not working. Because the server's emergency management hardware works on 5V standby power, DPC can be used to communicate with and control a powered down server.

DPC integrates into a variety of management consoles, as well as the ISC Console. DPC relies on the management console or ISC Console to discover servers over the LAN.

Using DPC, you can:

•Reboot a server.

•Restart a server that’s powered off.

•View the System Event Log (SEL) for information about recent server activity.

•View Sensor Data Records (SDRs) for information about sensor characteristics.

•Review Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) inventories.

•Run Remote Diagnostics on a managed server's Service Partition.

•View or clear the System Event Log (SEL).
