Direct Platform Control (DPC) Console
Direct Platform Control (DPC) Console is part of Intel Server Management. Direct Platform

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.
DPC console runs on a client workstation and is independent of the server operating system. It
