Direct Platform Control (DPC) Console
Direct Platform Control (DPC) Console is part of Intel Server Control. Direct Platform Control is a
server management application that supports remote system management via LAN, or an
RS-232 serial connection to the server COM2 port over a modem or a direct serial cable. The Direct
Platform Control Console provides the ability for remote management of Intel servers via modem
or LAN with a capability to run DOS-based programs.
