Baseboard Management Controller Configuration
NOTE:
If an iDRAC6 Express card is installed on the system, the Baseboard
Management Controller (BMC) utility is replaced by the iDRAC 6 utility.
The BMC enables configuring, monitoring, and recovery of systems remotely.
BMC provides the following features:
• Uses the system’s integrated NIC
• Enables fault logging and SNMP alerting
• Provides access to system event log and sensor status
• Allows control of system functions including power on and off
• Functions independently of the system’s power state or the system’s
operating system
• Provides text console redirection for system setup, text-based utilities, and
operating system consoles
NOTE:
To remotely access the BMC through the integrated NIC, you must connect
the network connection to integrated NIC1.
For additional information on using BMC, see the documentation for the
BMC and systems management applications.
Entering the BMC Setup Module
1 Turn on or restart your system.
2 Press <Ctrl><E> when prompted after POST.
If your operating system begins to load before you press <Ctrl><E>,

again.
