System management integration
With M620, the job of deploying, updating, monitoring, and maintaining the Select Network
Adapters is fast and easy. System management integration features include the following:
 Pre-boot: Use the Dell Lifecycle Controller graphical user interface (GUI) to set configuration
such as bandwidth allocation or firmware revision level.
 Post-boot: Agent-free out-of-band or high-speed in-band connection over LOM through the
Operating System/BMC pass-through feature for sensory information.
 Automation of firmware and driver version deployment upon component replacement.
 Automatic monitoring of NIC status and notification on SNMP traps.
 Local or remote re-configuration of any NIC, physical or virtual.
 PXE boot enabled on all LOM and NDCs for ease of use.
 Boot from SAN (iSCSI, FCoE) configuration for networking devices through the Lifecycle
Controller GUI.
