power-management features such as volt regulators, power-regulating processors, and an interactive
LCD screen for access to power consumption information.
1.1.4 Intelligent, Connected Systems Management
The Dell Lifecycle Controller (an integrated chip) is the engine for advanced embedded management
that is delivered as part of the iDRAC6 Express or optional iDRAC6 Enterprise in the PowerEdge R815.
It is accessed through a single console called the Unified Server Configurator. Administrators can
simplify tasks by performing a complete set of provisioning functions such as system deployment,
system updates, hardware configuration, and diagnostics in the pre-OS environment. This avoids the
need to use and maintain multiple pieces of disparate CD/DVD media. The PowerEdge R815 also
features an interactive LCD screen positioned on the front of the server for ease of monitoring.
