management tools and consoles. OpenManage simplifies the lifecycle of deploying, updating,

monitoring, and maintaining your Dell PowerEdge servers.

iDRAC7 with Lifecycle Controller

The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 7 (iDRAC7) with Lifecycle Controller is the heart of the

second generation of Dell PowerEdge server embedded management functionality. In addition to

enabling agent-free management, iDRAC7 with Lifecycle Controller provides remote access to the

system — whether or not there is a functioning operating system running on the server. These

embedded features improve all aspects of a typical server lifecycle. Table 19 describes the functions

and benefits of iDRAC7 with Lifecycle Controller.
