HP Remote System Controller - Supported Features; Front Panel Components (External)

● Use Chrome™ or Edge® to view the Remote System Controller interface.
● Workstations shipped to certain regions have the Maximum Power Savings BIOS setting enabled,
which prevents the HP Remote System Controller from getting power from the host main board. HP
recommends that you disable this setting so that the Remote System Controller has power when
the host workstation is turned off.
Supported features
The features are supported by the following platforms.
NOTE: For Z4, Z6, Z8 G4 and ZCentral G4, the latest BIOS update is required to enable the host to
provide power to the HP Integrated Remote System Controller in all host power states.
