[1] iDRAC7 license management and firmware update functionality
is always available through iDRAC7 Web interface and RACADM.
[2] All blade servers use dedicated NIC for iDRAC7 at all times,
but the speed is limited to 100 Mbps. GIGABYTE Ethernet card does
not work on blade servers due to limitations of the chassis, but works
on rack and tower servers with Enterprise license. Shared LOM is not
enabled for blade servers.
[3] Two-factor authentication is
available through Active-X and therefore only supports Internet Explorer.
[4] Virtual Console and Virtual Media are available through both
Java and Active-X plug-ins.
[5] Single user Virtual Console
with remote launch.
[6] On some systems the optional iDRAC7
ports card is required.
[7] RAC and trace logs are available
in Base version through WS-MAN.
[8] Parts Replacement is a Lifecycle
Controller feature that simplifies the process of replacing a failed
part by restoring the firmware level and configuration for the replacement
part. For more information, see
Dell Lifecycle Controller User's
Guide
available at
dell.com/support/manuals.
