System management integration
With R730 and R730xd, 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
